The Fed, does not think the Truth will set you free, they want the truth to be hidden from everyone!
They would rather protect the big industries compared to all of us regular people! In fact, the truth of the matter is, they could not care less if all of us lose our money through banks, they care if the bankers lose money.
The Fed does not want the banks who got emergency loans released. They feel it would be a determent to the economy and those banks. A judge had ruled they had to release the information by Aug. 31st, due to a lawsuit filed by Bloomberg.
Reading between the lines, the Fed is worried, all of us regular folks, might just find out the truth of the situation banks are in and decide we would like to keep our own money, instead of letting the banks have it (in case of bank holidays).
The point is, they will go to all lengths to hide the truth from the American public.

Fed urges judge not to enforce order pending appeal
* Banks say disclosure could cause loss of confidence
By Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK, Aug 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve asked a federal judge not to enforce her order that it reveal the names of the banks that have participated in its emergency lending programs and the sums they received, saying such disclosure would threaten the companies and the economy.
The central bank filed its request on Wednesday, two days after Chief Judge Loretta Preska of the U.S. District Court in Manhattan ruled in favor of Bloomberg News, which had sought information under the federal Freedom of Information Act.
Preska said the Fed failed to show that revealing the names would stigmatize the banks and result in "imminent competitive harm." The Fed asked the judge not to require disclosure while it readies an appeal.
"Immediate release of these documents will cause irreparable harm to these institutions and to the board's ability to effectively manage the current, and any future, financial crisis," the central bank argued.
It added that the public interest favors a delay, citing a potential for "significant harms that could befall not only private companies, but the economy as a whole" if the information were disclosed.
Underlying this case and a similar one involving News Corp's (NWSA.O) Fox News Network LLC is a question of how much the public has a right to know about how the government is bailing out a financial system in a crisis.
They are questioning the Public having the Right to know how much of a financial crisis we are in!! Outrageous! In other words, the Fed is saying - "we will use the Public's money and put them in debt all we want, but we won't let them know where we are using it"!
I hope that the Judge will keep the order of Aug. 31st disclosure of the Federal Reserve - a count down of 3 days. Will we see the list?
I will keep my eyes out for it.

Well, the Long Awaited FDIC 2nd Quarter Report, Finally came out today - Media is on it - But not honest
We finally got the 2nd quarter report from the FDIC today. Surprising enough, the media is actually reporting information about it. BUT they are not being honest. Yes, they are saying there are 416 banks in trouble, as they failed the FDIC's grading.
What they are using though, is the FDIC amount on hand from June 30th - in their reporting. In other words they are saying the FDIC has X amount of billions of dollars, using how much was in the fund from June. They are NOT being honest and saying the FDIC is underwater at about 5 Billion right now. The media is not mentioning the banks that have been taken over since June 30th, which has been quite a few.
Also, when you hear the number of banks that have been taken over this year (81) and the media says it is not as bad, as the depression and the 80's. They are again Not being honest, they are not saying how many branches and actual locations are involved. Care to take a guess?
Try 3000+ branches of banks, that have actually been taken over by the FDIC this year. That is a lot different than the 81, the media likes to mention.
When people tell me, they won't believe something, until MSM reports on it, I want to say "I will never believe, anything the MSM says - as they are run by the PTB". They have their own agenda and part of that agenda is protecting the government and the PTB, not the people. They are reporting dishonestly to the public.
The fact is, the FDIC does not nearly have enough money to cover what could amount to Trillions of dollars in bank failures.
Link to one article:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aKrqdLil0pGI
A total of 416 banks with combined assets of $299.8 billion failed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s grading system for asset quality, liquidity and earnings, the most since June 1994, the Washington-based FDIC said in a report today. Regulators didn’t identify companies deemed “problem” banks.
The FDIC insures deposits at 8,195 institutions with $13.3 trillion in assets. The agency is a state-bank regulator that insures bank customer deposits, helps find buyers for failing banks and liquidates lenders that have collapsed.
Did you get that part about 13.3 Trillion dollars?
Oh, I turned on the news (which I don't do anymore) to see what they were saying about the FDIC. I was completely Flabbergasted - when a CNN reporter said "The stock market, did well today, due to the good financial news out". I thought to myself... wow, they really do have people fooled.
Are you listening to those corporations, who benefit from not getting the complete truth to you?
As I see it, they have held off the flood gates very well and have covered the public's eyes to what is really happening here in the U.S.. The problem is, people around the rest of the world, knows what is really going on.
The Fed is buying the U.S. T-bills, in a round about way and not disclosing it.
Information little by little is leaking out about that. What is also happening, is information about how the rest of the world feels about the dollar is starting to see the light of day also in the American press.

Investors and economists have long harbored concerns about the dollar's decline, especially in the beginning of this decade as the federal government and consumers ran up their debtloads to finance everything from foreign wars to flat-screen TVs. Last fall's financial crash suggested that such fears may be overblown: As markets plunged in the wake of the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., investors scrambled to stash their cash in U.S. Treasury bills, perceiving them to be the safest investments. That boosted the value of the U.S. dollar against many of its major counterparts.
Now, though, major investors like Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Chairman Warren Buffett and bond investment firm Pimco fear the government's fiscal and monetary stimulus programs could end up fueling inflation in coming years and hammering the dollar. Higher inflation eats up the returns of bond investments that provide a fixed interest income, making them less attractive to investors. Less demand for U.S. bonds could mean a weaker dollar.
We already know the bonds are not selling well and the Fed is actually buying them, through Central Banks. They are making deals of trades, thus the printing presses are running overtime to print the money up to buy the bonds.
The game can only go on, so much longer. Also, the Shorting game of metals, seems to be getting a little weaker now. The players were profitting over $200 per ounce with their shorts at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. They are now only making around a $80 profit per ounce now. There are still tremendous amounts of shorts against the metals, but the longs are starting to come up stronger.
I would bet, it will be sooner than later, people start getting worried again about the economy and the banking situation, even though the media is not fully disclosing the truth.
Games can only go on for so long, until everyone starts realizing there is a game being played.
Here are my predictions:
The market is going to start a Free fall in about 2 weeks
Gold is probably about at it's lowest point it will ever be again.
(When the game of shorts is up on the metals, they will skyrocket, when people realize too late, they need them to protect themselves 'value of dollar, at this point' - they won't be available)
I will say once again, "If you have not purchased metals to protect yourself, than you are not paying attention to what is Really happening".
Two Words:
Buy Metals (my opinion - Silver is better - actually more rare than gold, used for more things and will have a bigger percentage of increase, thus more money will be made over all).

Michael Jackson Still headlines - 2 months later? Not Rhode Island - who is shutting down Government for 12 days? Jeez!!
I still get completely amazed at how the MSM, provides the most distracting news possible! This morning Michael Jackson, is the headline - STILL after 2 months of him dying.
Look, sorry he died, but can we Get Over It, Now? Really, what a blessing his death was for the MSM, this way, they can keep it on the headlines and not put Real News up.
Like the Real News of Rhode Island shutting down it's government for 12 days! Now, that is news which has a negative actual impact on people!
Link to article: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090825/D9A9IKMG1.html
I had always believed Rhode Island was a very wealthy state, I would not have expected they would be one of the first states to shut down it's government for a duration of time.
Birmingham, Alabama has cut it's government by 1/3 and even shut down a prison, California is issuing IOUs instead of money to the people.
The question I have for people is this: Do you listen to the MSM that "Good times are here and just around the corner, the tough times are over"? Or do you look at the Real news, the MSM does not tell you, as what state governments are shutting down? In other words, the real news and facts are "the tough times are just beginning".
The truth is hard to accept, but it won't be as tough, for those who are prepared mentally and physically, for what is coming down the line. It is all the others who only listen to MSM (about Michael Jackson) who will be caught like a deer in headlights. They will have no clue and will be shocked, when their own state government closes for a few days.
Also, if governments can close, don't you think banks will too at some point?

List of Failed Banks and FDIC Balance
Clicking on title will take you to a list of the failed banks this year and FDIC's balance. But I warn you, if you don't want to see a negative balance, then do not look at the list. The list shows the FDIC is Five Billion underwater.
Will this become public on MSM - I can't imagine it will, because people will then worry about their money in the banks. If it does have a large public awareness and people want their money, will the banks begin "holidays"?
But now you know, what are you going to do to protect yourself?

UnOfficial List of Problem Banks
Here is a link to an "unofficial" list of Problem Banks - click on the title - it will take you to the list.
I thought it would be a good idea to link it here and make people aware of what banks may be in trouble.
I warn you, it is a very long list!

Banks have figured out how to Close without Panic from the People
Looks like banks have figured out how to close and have Banking Holidays, without causing panic. No doubt people will accept it for this excuse though, those who are aware will know the real reason. The state of Tennessee has issued a statement/letter to the banks of the state. It gives banks the right to close at their discretion, due to the swine flu!
Considering not that many people have contracted the flu and the mortality rate is very low for it, the banks are going to use it as an excuse to close business. How perfect for them.
I will bet the general public will accept this too, because the media will relay, "Banks had to close for the benefit of the public, strongly".
I find this completely amazing, did the banks in Asia close a few years back with the bird flu? No, not from everything I have read.
The FDIC comes out next week with their 2nd quarter report - the report is not going to be good. Will banks try and have a holiday right afterwards, though the swine flu has not hit hard?

TO: All Tennessee State Chartered Banks
SUBJECT: Closing of Bank Offices - TCA §45-2-603 and §45-2-604
DATE: August 5, 2009
This bulletin is intended to address specifically the issue of suspending bank office activity in response to possible H1N1 (swine flu) outbreaks and more generally to emergency powers of banks in response to disasters. Additionally, this bulletin provides certain guidance should a Tennessee state bank close certain offices under the authority of TCA §45-2-603 and §45-2-604 in the discretion of its directorate and management.
Banks organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee may, at their discretion, temporarily close offices or operations in areas affected by an emergency resulting from fire, act of God, attack by a foreign nation, riot, insurrection, civil disorder or any similar disaster without prior approval of the commissioner in accordance with TCA §45-2-603 and §45-2-604.
The Department of Financial Institutions considers bank determinations that H1N1 outbreaks pose legitimate health risks to the general public or significantly impacts the ability of a banking institution to maintain an appropriate level of personnel on site to meet customer needs to be included among any “similar disaster” as referenced in TCA §45-2-603. Other events may also be included among any similar disaster, and the directorate and executive management are encouraged to use reasonable discretion in applying TCA §45-2-603 and §45-2-604. However, the safety of institution personnel and local citizens are of paramount importance when evaluating the appropriateness of closing offices.
We encourage institutions to carefully monitor and consider any guidance issued by state and federal government authorities regarding such events. While TCA §45-2-603 and §45-2-604 do not require the Department’s prior approval for office closings in certain events, we do encourage institutions to notify both the Department as well as their primary federal regulator in as timely a manner as reasonably possible in the event of such a closing. Additionally, institutions should make a reasonable effort, in consideration of the public safety, to notify and accommodate customers.
This bulletin shall serve as notice that no specific prior approval from the Department is required for Tennessee state-chartered banks to be closed more than two consecutive business days should a Tennessee state-chartered bank, in its discretion, determine it is necessary to temporarily close the bank or an office of the bank in accordance with TCA §45-2-603 and §45-2-604, pursuant to an H1N1 outbreak or similar disaster.
Banks should be advised; however, that if the Federal Reserve is open that the Federal Reserve may continue to present cash items to banks even if a particular bank has exercised its discretion to close the bank or one of its offices in accordance with TCA §45-2-603 and §45-2-604. Please contact your respective Federal Reserve branch for further guidance.
Questions regarding this Bulletin should be addressed to Tod K. Trulove, Assistant Commissioner – Bank Division, at 615/741-6013 or Tina G. Miller, General Counsel, at 615/532-1030.
Greg GonzalesCommissioner
I sincerely hope, people are not fooled by this, in my opinion, people should try and get the majority of their money out of the banks now, before next week's FDIC report.
I read an article yesterday (not inserting it - due to it not being validated yet) that banks will start limiting the amount of money people can get out of their account. The information said:
All account access was to be limited by the Bank and that any withdrawls, checks, debit cards, or access of credit lines, and IRA's could total no more than $500.00 per one or a combination of accounts every 7 business days until these limitations were lifted by Federal Authorities.
2. All lock boxes were to be sealed and access to contents disallowed by regulations imposed by Executive Order, the IRS, FDIC, and the Federal Reserve Bank until further notice.
Again this has not been validated - so it may just be a rumour, until I find positive validation - I am on the fence with this. Though I did positively validate the Tennessee Government letter regarding bank closures.
All I can say, in these days and times, everyone needs to look out for themselves and do what they need to do to protect themselves.
Everything is not as wonderful as the media makes it out to be.
Yes, the Webbot does say, bank holidays are suppose to start next month.
If you have information on any other state governments sending letters to the banks, giving them the OK to close for Swine flu, please feel free to send me the link at sherriequestioningall@yahoo.com

UPDATED - Swine Flu - Vaccines - Real Information and Real Story (1976 vaccines) told to me Yesterday
UPDATED - SEE BOTTOM OF POST FOR UPDATE!
The Swine Flu vaccines, this is a Big subject with lots of information compiled. Also someone (wants to remain unnamed) visited me and told me their story, yesterday.
First, we have been hearing the hype from the media about the Swine Flu and how bad it is going to be. In fact, they have been hyping it so much, I guess they are hoping people will be clamoring for the vaccines. There is also a lot of information about how the governments of the world will be making the vaccines mandatory.
The people who have contracted it and have died compared to the hype over it, does not match. Yes, there is a Swine flu (manufactured?) with so many different varieties of flu in it, the 1918 flu, swine flu, bird flu, a new human flu, how is it possible all of those combined together naturally?
Many are aware (who read their news on the internet), Baxter sent out a vaccine with the live bird flu virus a few months ago to 18 countries, The only reason it was caught was because the Canada tested it.
link to article about it: http://www.naturalnews.com/025760.html
Now for a lot more background on vaccines:
There is no vaccine known to the public for this particular virus. There are vaccines for related viruses thought to possibly be effective, but this is unreliable information. In response to the problems of the 1976 Swine Flu vaccine which caused neurological damage in patients as well as the more recent Baxter scandal in which live H5N1 virus was mixed in with vaccine materials, the government of Sweden has advised their population NOT to obtain vaccinations at this time. As was demonstrated in the 1976 case, the decision to force vaccines on the public are often made more from a commercial for-profit concern than what is actually best for the population.
In the 1976 Swine Flu outbreak, the vaccine killed fifty times as many people as the flu did!
PREVENTION
At this time it is being claimed that primary infection is skin-to-skin contact, so wash your hands often with a good bacteriological soap. Avoid touching other people. While risk of direct transfer by air is low, according to CDC, the reality is that coughs and sneezes can produce aerosolized secretions in which the virus is surrounded by liquids and able to survive for prolonged periods of time outside the body. If this virus has a lipid coating, that time will be longer.
Disinfection of household surfaces can be accomplished with a dilute (10%) solution of chlorine bleach and water will kill the virus. So will strong light, especially ultra-violet light.
Given the similarity between the avian flu component of this new virus and the 1918 Spanish flu, a possible precaution to take is common household cinnamon from the spice rack. During the 1918 outbreak it was noticed that people who worked at a cinnamon processing factory did not catch the disease. Cinnamon in high doses can be toxic, but a gram a day for adults seems like a reasonable dose.
Here are some of the relevant facts.
Back in 2004, we were being propagandized that Bird Flu was the next pandemic.
CDC was talking about recombinant viruses back in 2005.
Gene studies showed that so-called Bird Flu appeared to be similar to the 1918 Spanish Flu. Other studies showed it was almost identical!
Which is rather nerve-wracking because in 2005 it was admitted that scientists were intentionally recreating the 1918 Spanish Flu virus!
But the predicted pandemic didn't happen because Bird Flu isn't that contagious. It needed to be blended with a more infectious form of flu, like swine flu (Used as a bio-weapon by the CIA against Cuba), to became a real slate-wiper!
In 2006, it was reported that scientists were intentionally creating bird flu and swine flu hybrids in the labs!
Which leads to asking how it is that this new flu epidemic explodes into view right after Fort Detrick admits that some of the nasty little beasties they have been working on went missing!

In general, children are also considered to be in a priority group for getting swine flu vaccine and are also considered to be in the first tiers of vaccination depending on their risk for complications:
Infants & toddlers 6 to 35 mo old, pregnant women - Tier 1
Household contacts of infants less than 6 mo - Tier 2
Children 3 to 18 yrs with high risk conditions - Tier 2
Children 3 to 18 yrs without high risk conditions - Tier 2 (Moderate Pandemic)
Children 3 to 18 yrs without high risk conditions - Tier 3 (Severe and Less Severe Pandemic)
To get the first three tiers of people vaccinated is estimated to require about 104 million doses of swine flu vaccine.
1976 Swine Flu Vaccine
Although it is true that we don't currently have a swine flu vaccine, there once was a swine flu vaccine that was made to target the swine flu H1N1 strain that was found at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Because of fears that this swine flu strain was similar to the flu strain that caused the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, a vaccination program immunized more than 40 million people in the United States between October 1976 to December 1976.
The immunization program was stopped early because the swine flu pandemic didn't occur, and the swine flu vaccine was thought to cause many side effects, including Guillain-Barre syndrome.
How many cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome were there? About 40, or 1 per million people vaccinated. Even that was considered too high though in light of the fact that there didn't seem to be any cases of swine flu that season.
Swine Flu Vaccine Timeline
June 4 - the CDC has provided a candidate vaccine virus to several laboratories and manufacturers so that they can produce pilot lots of swine flu vaccines that can be tested to make sure they are safe and effective.
June 12 - Novartis, a Swiss drug maker, which makes the Fluvirin flu vaccine for seasonal flu, has announced that they have produced their first batch of swine flu vaccine. This is still an experimental vaccine though, that needs to complete clinical trials to make sure it is safe and effective before it can be further produced for everyone to use.
June 26 - although 115 million doses of seasonal flu vaccine is usually used each year, it is estimated that up to 600 million doses of swine flu (H1N1) vaccine may be needed in the fall, since most people will need two doses. Only about 60 million doses will likely be ready by September though.
July 9 - the US government will spend about $7.5 billion if a swine flu vaccination program is thought to be necessary in the fall, in addition to the billion dollars already spent on bulk ingredients for the swine flu vaccines being developed.

"Department of Homeland Security officials are declaring that any disease outbreak is a matter of homeland security. Department of Defense officials are defining public demonstrations as 'low level terrorism.' In some states ... doctors have persuaded legislators to quickly pass pandemic influenza legislation that will allow state officials to enter homes and businesses without the approval of occupants; to investigate and quarantine individuals without their consent; to require licensed health care providers to give citizens vaccines and to ban the free assembly of citizens in the state." -- Barbara Loe Fisher, President of the National Vaccine Information Center, 6/18/09
The swine flu has turned out to be little more dangerous than the average flu. The majority of those who have died of swine flu have had other health complications which played a decisive role in mortality. Earlier articles at the beginning of the outbreak described the unbridled fear-mongering taking place, as happened previously with the avian flu.
Yet the pandemic of fear continues as plans are well underway for a massive vaccination of the public with a vaccine that has only recently been developed and has undergone very limited testing for possible severe side effects.
According to the CDC, approximately 36,000 people die each year in the U.S. from the regular flu. That averages to about 100 people a day. The total number of confirmed mortalities in the U.S. from the swine flu since the virus was identified in March is less than 200, less than the number of people who die in two days from the regular flu. Yet don't be surprised if you soon start to see propaganda for mandatory vaccination, starting with our children. Mandatory vaccines bring billions of dollars to big pharma and more control for politicians.
Plans have been made and laws have already been passed to restrict constitutional rights during a pandemic. And in spite of the low severity of the swine flu, a pandemic of the highest level has already been declared by the WHO. At worse, these new laws can be used declare martial law and suspend constitutional rights. At best, many will likely be injured or die from side effects of the vaccine, like during the swine flu pandemic in 1976, in which a national emergency was declared even though only one person died of the flu. Dozens died that year as a direct result of the massive government vaccination program against the greatly feared flu.
Vaccinated Children Don’t Have Natural Antibodies
But will health officials allow our children and grandchildren to get those same kind of natural protective antibodies to type A and B influenza, including this new swine flu? It doesn’t look like it. First, doctors in America have been insisting for the past few years that every child from six months old to age 18 must get an annual flu shot. [13] Second, there are now calls by U.S. health officials to give American children the first doses of experimental swine flu vaccines in the school setting. [14]

Please read the above article - but the ratio of people being affected as reported in the above article is Much lower than 1 to 80,000. Also - yesterday, I got a visit from someone (wants to remain unnamed).
But this person, said in 1976, they got the vaccine (as mentioned in the article - but I don't believe the article has the true amount of people affected by it - due to this person's story). 30 people from this person's office went together to get the shot. 2 of the 30 had Very bad reactions - including this person, who gave me their story.
This person, was in bed for two weeks, they were in agony, where even the sheets hurt on their toes, their scalp/hair hurt to even lightly touch it. For two weeks the pain radiated from one place to another on their body. The person thought they were going mad, with the agony and the pain. Then for one year, the person had paralysis in their muscles/legs, they could not walk upstairs, due to the muscles not working correctly. They had a very hard time just walking or doing anything, besides weakness overall. They eventually recovered, but it took over one years time. The reason why I say the amount of people affected in the article has to be higher than 1 in 80,000 (unreported people), is because if 2 of 30 people who got vaccinated together were affected, then the reality is the ratio is possibly 1 in 15 people. This person who told me their story also feels people who were affected, were not being reported by doctors.
There is much more information about the vaccines, with various angles. Also there is an article saying WHO wants the vaccines to be mandatory for all people.
http://www.naturalnews.com/z026723_health_vaccines_immune_system.html
I can say - I will NOT get a vaccine (besides - I am allergic to eggs and mercury etc.) ;) I will get a doctors note stating that fact. So, I can not be forced to take a vaccine - if I am allergic to the ingredients. My family and friends will hopefully be allergic to all the ingredients also. Are you allergic to the ingredients in the vaccines? If so, get a doctors note, stating that.
Also, all the information I have been reading, your best defense will be Vitamin D and Vitamin C.
Start taking those now and build up your defenses.
NOTE to add: I compiled the above information from various sources - not all of it is my own original writing, but some of it is information I had been sending others in emails, through cut and pasting. I do not have the individual links to some of the information provided. I did write a good bit of it, but not all.
I will be updating this post as more information comes out.
UPDATED AUG 18 4:24PM EST -
The Washington Post has confirmed the vaccines will include Thimerosal.
From the article at this link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/29/AR2009072903607_2.html?sid=ST2009072903827
Some of the vaccine will be stored in multi-dose vials containing thimerosal, an antibacterial additive that contains mercury. But there will also be single-dose syringes without thimerosal, a substance that some assert is harmful to children.
Among the many unanswered questions is whether two doses will be necessary to provide full protection, how close in time two shots can be given and how big the dose will be. Vaccination programs may start before the answers are known.
Clinical trials in which the prototype vaccine will be tested in hundreds of children and adults are just beginning. Data on the effectiveness of one shot will be available in mid-September; two shots, in late September.
They are testing this on kids - Mercury has been shown to cause autism, mercury is a known neurotoxin - no one should allow their child to get this vaccine!
Link to article how it is confirmed - Thimerosal causes Autism
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/69427.php
The Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A: Current Issues, an authoritative journal featuring original toxicological research, has published, "A Case Series of Children with Apparent Mercury Toxic Encephalopathies Manifesting with Clinical Symptoms of Regressive Autistic Disorders," by Geier and Geier (2007).
This new study leaves little doubt there is a direct causal link between mercury exposure from Thimerosal-preserved biological products (vaccines and Rho(D) products) and mercury poisoning diagnosed as an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Thimerosal (49.55% mercury by weight) is a highly toxic mercury compound used as a preservative in some OTC and prescription drugs, including most flu shots given to pregnant women, infants, children, adults, and the elderly.
Please be aware of everything, before taking a vaccine for a flu that is being hyped out of proportion by the media and the governments to how many have actually died from it.
UPDATE AUG 19 - An article out today - One third of nurses will refuse the Swine Flu vaccine due to them feeling it is not safe to take.

The Swine Flu vaccines, this is a Big subject with lots of information compiled. Also someone (wants to remain unnamed) visited me and told me their story, yesterday.
First, we have been hearing the hype from the media about the Swine Flu and how bad it is going to be. In fact, they have been hyping it so much, I guess they are hoping people will be clamoring for the vaccines. There is also a lot of information about how the governments of the world will be making the vaccines mandatory.
The people who have contracted it and have died compared to the hype over it, does not match. Yes, there is a Swine flu (manufactured?) with so many different varieties of flu in it, the 1918 flu, swine flu, bird flu, a new human flu, how is it possible all of those combined together naturally?
Many are aware (who read their news on the internet), Baxter sent out a vaccine with the live bird flu virus a few months ago to 18 countries, The only reason it was caught was because the Canada tested it.
link to article about it: http://www.naturalnews.com/025760.html
Now for a lot more background on vaccines:
There is no vaccine known to the public for this particular virus. There are vaccines for related viruses thought to possibly be effective, but this is unreliable information. In response to the problems of the 1976 Swine Flu vaccine which caused neurological damage in patients as well as the more recent Baxter scandal in which live H5N1 virus was mixed in with vaccine materials, the government of Sweden has advised their population NOT to obtain vaccinations at this time. As was demonstrated in the 1976 case, the decision to force vaccines on the public are often made more from a commercial for-profit concern than what is actually best for the population.
In the 1976 Swine Flu outbreak, the vaccine killed fifty times as many people as the flu did!
PREVENTION
At this time it is being claimed that primary infection is skin-to-skin contact, so wash your hands often with a good bacteriological soap. Avoid touching other people. While risk of direct transfer by air is low, according to CDC, the reality is that coughs and sneezes can produce aerosolized secretions in which the virus is surrounded by liquids and able to survive for prolonged periods of time outside the body. If this virus has a lipid coating, that time will be longer.
Disinfection of household surfaces can be accomplished with a dilute (10%) solution of chlorine bleach and water will kill the virus. So will strong light, especially ultra-violet light.
Given the similarity between the avian flu component of this new virus and the 1918 Spanish flu, a possible precaution to take is common household cinnamon from the spice rack. During the 1918 outbreak it was noticed that people who worked at a cinnamon processing factory did not catch the disease. Cinnamon in high doses can be toxic, but a gram a day for adults seems like a reasonable dose.
Here are some of the relevant facts.
Back in 2004, we were being propagandized that Bird Flu was the next pandemic.
CDC was talking about recombinant viruses back in 2005.
Gene studies showed that so-called Bird Flu appeared to be similar to the 1918 Spanish Flu. Other studies showed it was almost identical!
Which is rather nerve-wracking because in 2005 it was admitted that scientists were intentionally recreating the 1918 Spanish Flu virus!
But the predicted pandemic didn't happen because Bird Flu isn't that contagious. It needed to be blended with a more infectious form of flu, like swine flu (Used as a bio-weapon by the CIA against Cuba), to became a real slate-wiper!
In 2006, it was reported that scientists were intentionally creating bird flu and swine flu hybrids in the labs!
Which leads to asking how it is that this new flu epidemic explodes into view right after Fort Detrick admits that some of the nasty little beasties they have been working on went missing!

Updated daily -Puerto Rico Quakes Swarming - A Big One on the Horizon?
UPDATE AUG 18TH 8:28AM EST
There are now 140 quakes on the map - Ana passed over South - which most probably is causing more quakes, including the 4 mag a few minutes ago.
USGS - has now switched the colors to blue for 24 hour quakes and a muted red for last hour quakes. Needless to say, people are not happy. They can not been seen as well. Was that the point for USGS to do that - so all the quakes happening are not as noticable? Considering there has been more quaking of the Earth - most of them happening in the ocean - now the quakes are blue squares - not seen well. Won't be surprised, if one day the last weeks quakes, instead of being yellow - turn a muted green - so those too, won't be seen as well. People have been emailing the USGS folks - wanting the other colors back. I am not holding my breath for that to happen.
UPDATE AUG 16TH - 8:21AM EST - There are 120 quakes on the map now. Tropical Storms Ana and Bill seem to be heading towards Puerto Rico. I contacted Lowell, asking him questions about it. Here is his reponse to me, via email:I will watch it carefully. It looks like Ana is being followed quickly by Bill. Both may hit PR or go to the north. If to the north the seismic effects would be muted and might even cause the current swarm to stop. The reason for this is the low pressures associated with the storm(s) will tend to allow the Atlantic seafloor to rise (because it is not being pushed down as much by the air). This would tend to lock the subduction zone and keep earthquakes from occurring. If the storm goes to the south the opposite could occur opening a possibility for a strong earthquake in the region. Lowell Whiteside PhD
UPDATE AUG 15TH 11:20PM EST - Latest Map of Puerto Rico
Another UPDATE AUG 15 - 2:02 PM EST
It Looks like Ana (a Tropical Storm right now) is going to go directly over Puerto Rico - expected there on Tuesday. This is what Lowell has said, could be the catalyst to a very large quake happening on the Trench.
Great site for tracking it: http://www.stormpulse.com/
UPDATE - AUG 15 - 5:56 AM EST There were over 25 more Earthquakes since I posted about Puerto Rico yesterday morning - now 102 Earthquakes show on the map.
Puerto Rico's Trench has gotten Very Active - in fact as of this moment there have been 76 quakes in one weeks time. They are getting larger too - high 3+ magnitudes and now High 4+ magnitudes are occurring. Earthquake experts have expectations of a Very Large quake happening there in the near future - where a possible Tsunami would ensue with it.
List of quakes on this map: from site: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Maps/PR10/13.23.-71.-61_eqs.php
When the Puerto Rico Trench has had Large quakes in the past, Tsunami's have occurred with them.
I happen to know many people down there, as I used to live in the Virgin Islands and I would go to Puerto Rico on business many times a year. If you know people there, please make them aware of the quakes that are occurring and have them prepare emergency packs for them and their families. Hopefully they have some prepared already, due to Hurricanes possibly hitting. Awareness and preparation for any event is the key to surviving!
A wound up radio - food for days along with water - besides a head for the hills bag. Does that sound extreme in preparations? To me - No - being prepared is smart - especially when there is a history of Huge Quakes there causing Tsunamis. Also Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are overdue for a Large Quake.
Information from http://www.quakecentralforecasting.com/lowellsblog.html
I get his daily emails of quake forecasting - his email address is: eqforecasts@gmail.com
You can sign up for Free Daily Quake forecast - he discusses all aspects of quakes - Excellent information!
Here is a part of his email from today:
EARTHQUAKE SUMMARY FOR AUGUST 13, 2009
A second earthquake of M 4.7-4.9 hit in the region of Puerto Rico today following a similar event yesterday. NEIC reported this earthquake was felt within about 150 km of the epicenter with intensity II-III. Reports came from Puerto Rico at Morovis, Vega Alta, Humacao and Guaynabo, P.R. Today's event began a strong sequence including
at least 17 aftershocks of M>3 suggesting a strong accumulation of stress in the area which could lead to a major event in the near future. In recent months earthquakes in this area have become more common and aftershock sequences have been very energetic. This is often considered an activation stage which commonly precedes major earthquakes. Such an activation phase may also be underway in the Tokai area near Tokyo in which three major earthquakes have occurred this week.
We emphasized the potential for a major event in Puerto Rico in yesterday's
report as follows:
"A moderate earthquake of M 4.7 in Puerto Rico was the strongest in the U.S. and possessions today. NEIC reported this earthquake was felt in the Sint Eustatius region of the Netherlands Antilles at Golden Rock and Oranjestad with intensity II-III. The first major hurricane of the new season has formed off Africa and is moving across the Atlantic. These hurricanes often trigger additional seismicity in the Leeward and Windward Islands of the Caribbean but seismicity in Puerto Rico is more directly affected by storms forming in the Caribbean and moving to the east into the Atlantic.
Puerto Rico is well past due for a great earthquake and statistics show this is
most likely to occur during hurricane season after a close encounter with a major hurricane. A strong tsunami from such an event is a real possibility."

Information on the History of Puerto Rico Earthquakes and Tsunamis - from link:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/puerto_rico/puerto_rico_history.php
Four strong earthquakes have affected Puerto Rico since the beginning of its colonization. The most recent of these occurred on October 11, 1918. The epicenter was located northwest of Aguadilla in the Mona Canyon (between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic). This earthquake had an approximate magnitude of 7.5 on the Richter scale and was accompanied by a tsunami ("tidal" wave) which got up to 6 meters (19.5 feet) high. Damage was concentrated in the western area of the Island because this was the closest zone to the earthquake.
The earthquake killed about 116 people and caused more than 4 million dollars of
damage. Numerous houses, factories, public buildings, chimneys, bridges and
other structures suffered severe damage.
On November 18, 1867, 20 days after the Island was devastated by Hurricane San Narciso, a strong earthquake occurred with an approximate magnitude of 7.5 on the Richter Scale. The epicenter was located in the Anegada Passage, between Puerto Rico and St. Croix, Virgin Islands. The earthquake produced a tsunami that ran inland almost 150 meters (490 feet) in the low parts of the coast of Yabucoa. This quake caused damage in numerous buildings on the Island, especially in the eastern zone.
Possibly the strongest earthquake that has affected Puerto Rico since the beginning of colonization occurred on May 2, 1787. This was felt strongly throughout the
Island and may have been as large as magnitude 8.0 on the Richter Scale. Its
epicenter was possibly to the north, in the Puerto Rico Trench. The quake was
felt very strongly all across the Island. It demolished the Arecibo church along
with the El Rosario and La Concepcion monasteries and damaged the churches at
Bayamon, Toa Baja and Mayaguez. It also caused considerable damage to the
castles of San Felipe del Morro and San Cristobal, breaking cisterns, walls and
guard houses.
Seeing the history of the quakes at the Puerto Rico trench - you can now see, Tsunamis do occur with them.Puerto Rico used to get around 300 quakes a year - yet in one weeks time they have had almost 1/3 of that amount - (now 104 showing) in One weeks time.
Doesn't that prove that something is UP and Not normal there? Please if you know of people in the area - it does not hurt to have food, water and other emergency supplies ready.

Here are some other, very good links from experts regarding Puerto Rico and the Earthquakes there:
The one below was written in 2005 - but it is about the history and expectations of a large quake on the Trench.

Right now - the blog has the vitamins from Puritan Pride - link of buy One get 2 Free Sale - and I just put up the Boss-Safety Link of every kind of safety/contaminate type survival gear. I purchased my 3M Respirators and filters from them. I found they had the Best Price on the internet.
I contacted them, they said if Anyone mentions the Blog:

But - please be ahead of the pack and get one Now!! When it becomes obvious, one will be needed - it will most probably be too late to actually find one to buy, as they will be sold out. I purchased the permanent half 3M respirator with the P100 Hard Case filters.

Gold Shadow Price $6000? Managed Inflation of Dollar - expectations
Please see the post below - with expectations of a short downturn of Gold - manipulated by the commercial shorts on Gold.
Another article today - mentions the dollar will have controlled inflation and the real price of what Gold should be (shadow) will eventually be at $6000.00 per ounce.
Link to article in PDF form: http://www.gata.org/files/QBAssetManagement-07-2009.pdf
As the SGP implies, an ounce of gold would fetch almost $6,000 if we lived in a world characterized by disciplined money issuance. In effect, people and governments around the world would have been exchanging their Federal Reserve Notes for gold to the point that it would take 6000 bills to buy an ounce. The Shadow Gold Price solves for the price of an ounce of gold if the US dollar were still pegged to gold and its rise reflects the inflation of the Monetary Base. (Gold used to actually be the US Monetary Base prior to 1971, when the US and other governments abandoned the Bretton Woods Agreement that imposed monetary discipline on their money printing.)
Obviously this appears to be a crazy gold price within the context of the $900-plus price at which gold has been trading recently on global exchanges (though we do remember its rapid move from $35 to $880 the last time around). We are under no illusions that the price of Comex gold will rise to track what we see as its intrinsic value (not because it shouldn’t, but because we expect external market forces with great interests in protecting the sovereignty of fiat currencies to step in before that occurs, see “Potential Endgame – A Managed USD Devaluation” below).
There is a lot more in the article, including charts. I suggest everyone read this, who is interested in gold.
Position yourself for the coming huge economic changes here in the U.S. and abroad. Make sure you have covered yourself, in preparations in all ways.
