Conventional Knowledge About Bird Flu Turned Upside Down? Jon Rappoport | January 20 2006 Buckle up for this one. It's big. Very big. HAS JIM WEST BROKEN THE BANK ON BIRD FLU IN TURKEY? AND OTHER PLACES? For a couple of years, I've been aware of Jim's highly original work. He found some very compelling correlations between air pollution and birds dying of so-called West Nile disease. In other words, the unproven idea of a virus doing damage was replaced with a much more down-to-earth and visible conclusion. Jim did that investigative work. Jim has now ventured into the bizarre world of bird flu. He goes where other journalists don't. He has perspectives that other people don't think about. In a half-sane world, Jim would be accorded much praise and significant rewards. Here, I'm going to print major excerpts from his recent emails on the subject of bird flu in Turkey. (The H5N1 bird flu virus is being blamed for the deaths of several children there, and for perhaps 20 other human cases in that country.) As I've pointed out, the actual blood tests on those children are opaque. We don't know how the tests were done by the hospital in Van, Turkey, or the World Health Organization (WHO) in England. I've been trying vainly to get very specific information from WHO. From here on, these are the words of Jim West. I make comments in caps and brackets. ***********************************************
Similarities are here, for H5N1, West Nile, SARS -- and air pollution. West Nile was a "bird flu", "a flu-like disease", killing avians massively. [IN OTHER WORDS, RESEARCHERS HAVE IGNORED CORRELATIONS BETWEEN SERIOUS CHEMICAL AIR POLLUTION AND SO-CALLED H5N1, WEST NILE, AND SARS--JR] Turkey and Iran are polluted by mining and petro-chemical industries. Iraq is also at the epidemic intersection, but I hadn't time to look for industry there. [THE AREA OF TURKEY SAID TO BE HIT BY BIRD FLU ADJOINS AREAS OF IRAN AND IRAQ---JR] 2) H5N1 stock virus. Independent investigation is difficult or impossible due to Patriot Act and Homeland Security laws. [ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY POINT. INDEPENDENT UNBIASED RESEARCHERS SHOULD BE STUDYING H5N1 TO SEE WHAT IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE, WHAT ITS CHARACTERISTICS ARE...WHETHER IT IS REALLY A VIRUS...ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS WOULD BE ASKED BY TRULY UNBIASED RESEARCHERS, BUT SAMPLES OF H5N1 ARE BEING HELD VERY CLOSE TO THE VEST...THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS SECRECY IS: THE VIRUS COULD BE USED AS A BIO-WEAPON---JR] -Jim West So that's Jim's first email. I highly recommend these sites he lists, to get more of his information on so-called viral diseases and the actual connection to major air pollution. Here is Jim's next email: Yes, "Bird Flu" doesn't make sense --
but because the virology is Bird Flu isn't actually viropathological. The fundamental
virus science, e.g., data about the stock virus, is blocked from independent
review by the Patriot Act and Homeland Security laws. (See on CDC website,
the "Select Agents Program"). Official rationale: "Bird
Flu" (H5N1) is a terrorist's A previous "bird flu" epidemic was called called West Nile virus. My study found that to be massive air pollution. This was published in Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients (2000), and reviewed positively by ABC's Nicholas Regush (8/2001). Regush then interviewed the major scientists, who became apologetic. www.geocities.com/noxot Another previous Southeast Asian "flu"
(which is now not being diagnosed enthusiastically, with Toronto's chief
epidemiologist calling WHO's actions "bullshit") is called
SARS, and that is evidently, per my review of evidence, air pollution:
My review was published by Weston A. Price, and is online: www.westonaprice.org/envtoxins/sarsepidemic.html
Regarding migratory birds in Africa...if there
is no "bird flu" ...several years ago, I found that migratory geese in New Jersey were being diagnosed for "an unknown pathogen" in the highly polluted Brigantine Park, a crossroads for air effluents by DuPont, Exxon, and others. The first clinical step for that bird epidemic was to have toxicology "ruled out". Those geese were literally falling dead out of the sky. Dr. Roscoe was New Jersey's avian clinician. His mentor was Ward Stone, NYS DEC avian pathologist. [RESEARCHERS IGNORED ANY POISONING OF THOSE BIRDS AS A RESULT OF CHEMICAL POLLUTION, AND INSTEAD OPTED FOR SOME UNKNOWN GERM. EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE "GERM" WAS, THEY ASSUMED "IT" WAS THE CAUSE OF THE BIRD DEATHS---JR] So that's a toxicological lens through which we can view today's "bird flu". -Jim West That's Jim West's second email. Here is his next one: Jon, Here are, following my other email to you, URL links regarding Turkey and smog, with schools being closed, 2,000,000 children... In case some people think that the recent victims of bird flu in Turkey are environmentally safe, here are some search results for the area of Van, Turkey, which [is] on the Iran border. [VAN IS THE AREA IN TURKEY WHERE THE CHILDREN DIED--JR] Eastern Turkey and the adjoining NW Iran are mining and petrochemical regions. Respiratory disease is rampant in these regions. Recent air pollution epidemic forced Teheran school closings... www.ozbybike.co.uk/?p=15 www.bioline.org.br/request?ja02023 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4516430.stm

In Istanbul, the biggest city in Turkey, authorities immediately took four pigeons, found dead near a mosque, to a lab for bird flu tests and sprayed the area with disinfectants, the municipality said in a statement late Thursday, the Anatolia news agency reported early Friday... ************************************************ Okay, so those are Jim West's emails. We can see that very serious chemical pollution exists in the air in certain areas of Turkey and adjoining Iran. This is being ignored in studying the deaths of the several children there, and is ignored in other cases of sickness as well. And this pollution is also being ignored in studying the deaths of birds. Why? Well, who benefits from this diversion away from the facts? The people who own and operate the industries that are poisoning the air. To take this further, I personally find it very hard to believe that, in an area of extreme pollution, where RESPIRATORY DISEASE is the key condition, three children who are sick are suddenly "checked for bird flu." Among many cases of chemically caused respiratory distress in the region, all of a sudden there is going to be an investigation of bird flu? I believe this is part of a larger agenda, one which I've described in earlier articles. Remember, Turkey is being cited as the first country outside of Asia where "bird flu has jumped." "Now, Europe is being threatened." Those who want this fake viral epidemic to be more frightening consider Turkey a major advance in their propaganda program. |
