Here's a short article I've put together, regarding the recent bird flu outbreak in Suffolk. The evidence indicates it was yet another government black operation, designed to scare the British public. Click on any of the links for the source articles.

Bird Flu in the UK: Another Government Inside Job?
Shoestring, Feb 7, 2007
On January 30 this year, turkeys started dying at a farm in Suffolk, England. Two days later, another 860 birds died there. The state veterinary service was contacted, and on February 3 it was confirmed to be an outbreak of the most dangerous form of bird flu, the H5N1 strain. The farm's entire flock of 159,000 turkeys was culled. More than 320 farm workers had to take the antiviral drug Tamiflu, though so far none appear to have become infected with the disease. According to The Guardian, this is "the first H5N1 outbreak in British poultry since an infection of 8,000 turkeys in Norfolk in December 1991."
What is suspicious about this whole affair is that on January 30, the day when the first chicks died at the farm, the British government and numerous agencies were holding the first phase of a massive training exercise to test their responses to an outbreak of bird flu. A Department of Health spokesperson said, “It was pure fortuitous timing on our behalf." The exercise, called Winter Willow, is described as "a UK wide pandemic influenza exercise sponsored by the Cabinet Office and the Department of Health in London, and organised by the Health Protection Agency." Its aim was "to enhance the UK's ability to manage the effects of an influenza pandemic by practising and validating response policies and the decision-making process at National, Regional and Local levels." The Sunday Mirror reported that, in order "to prepare Britain for a lethal bird flu outbreak," Winter Willow would involve "all the emergency services, town hall officials and government ministers including Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt and Environment Secretary David Miliband." While the exercise's first stage was on January 30, a second stage is planned for February 19-20. Patricia Hewitt told ITV 1's The Sunday Edition, "[W]e've still got more weeks to go of that exercise so that we learn the lessons of this."
Hewitt called Winter Willow, "the biggest planning exercise there's ever been on pandemic flu." The Sunday Times called it "the largest emergency exercise since the cold war." It added, "Police will stop people entering exclusion zones and emergency centres will be set up to make the exercise as real as possible. Ministers will take part in mock media conferences in what is being described as 'one of the largest and most ambitious' projects of its kind ever conducted. The exercise will also involve international agencies and bodies, including the World Health Organisation and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control."
We could perhaps dismiss the concurrence of the Winter Willow exercise with the actual outbreak of bird flu in Suffolk as just an extraordinary coincidence. However, this seems increasingly unlikely if we look back to the previous incident of H5N1 bird flu in the UK, which occurred in early April 2006. On that occasion, a dead swan found in a harbor in Fife, Scotland was discovered to have the strain. And at the very same time, the British government was holding its first full bird flu exercise -- "Exercise Hawthorn." The BBC described Exercise Hawthorn as "an office-based initiative set three days into a hypothetical outbreak of avian influenza in poultry." Run by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), it was based on a "scenario in which bird flu was found on a free-range poultry farm in Norfolk, with suspected cases at a turkey farm in the north of England and at an egg production unit in south Wales." Also participating were Downing Street, the Environment Agency, the Ministry of Defence, and other government departments. The exercise was canceled in response to the actual case of bird flu. The UK's Chief Veterinary Officer Debby Reynolds said, "I brought to an end the national avian influenza exercise to ensure that we can bring all our resources to bear on this situation."
The fact that both of the most recent incidents of H5N1 bird flu in Britain have coincided with major training exercises is evidence that the bird flu has been no accident, but instead due to deliberate acts by a rogue group working within the government. The purpose is to frighten the British public.
Internet investigative reporter Paul Joseph Watson explains how training exercises can help such a rogue group to perform its treasonous acts: "Staged-managed manufactured crises are always paralleled by drills of the same nature. This provides culpable deniability if any government agency is caught with their hands in the cookie jar. They can say it was just part of the drill."
This has been most obvious in the cases of large-scale terrorist incidents. The 9/11 attacks against New York and Washington occurred at the same time as numerous government and military training exercises were taking place. One of these was based around the scenario of a plane crashing into a government building just 24 miles from the Pentagon. Another was described as "an air defense exercise simulating an attack on the United States." And a further exercise was described as a "practice Armageddon."
Four years later, at the same time as the 7/7 London bombings occurred, a crisis management company was "running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where [the actual attacks] happened" that morning.
Does anyone else see a pattern here?

I'd just add to that, the Tamiflu injections were given a week BEFORE the supposed outbreak. One of the forums (not 911 related) i use has a guy who works as a 'Chicken Catcher', started a thread stating they knew well in advance what they'd find there.
Just my twopenneth for what it's worth. _________________ There is no squabbling so violent as that between people who accepted an idea yesterday and those who will accept the same idea tomorrow. |

Nice one Shoestring.
Dstevo - that is a very important piece of information. Is there any way you could get the chap to verify it, maybe ask him to write up or tell you in detail about what happened with the Tamiflu, dates etc., and post what he says anonymously ? _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan. |

Excellent find Ishaar.
I've just posted that, on this FLU UK Forum:

The Independent wrote: | Bird flu fears intensify as France is forced to slaughter turkeys
By John Lichfield in Paris
Published: 25 February 2006
The spread of the H5N1 strain of bird flu made a worrying new advance yesterday with a probable outbreak in a large turkey farm in eastern France.
More than 11,000 turkeys were slaughtered at the battery farm near Versailleux in the Ain after a form of H5 bird flu began to spread rapidly through the flocks. Tests were continuing last night to decide whether or not the birds were infected with the H5N1 strain but this seemed highly likely.
The farm, in the Bresse region, not far from the Swiss border, is close to lakes where two wild ducks have died from the virulent form of avian flu in recent days. Seven new cases of H5N1 among dead swans in the same area were confirmed yesterday.
One of the worrying aspects of the outbreak - the first in a poultry farm in Europe - is that the afflicted turkeys were kept permanently under cover. Veterinary officials said that they must have been infected indirectly through wild bird droppings brought into the poultry houses, on bedding straw or on boots.
The Bresse region is one of the chief poultry-rearing areas of France, the largest producer and exporter of poultry in Europe. Poultry sales have fallen by 30 per cent in France in recent weeks. French government officials were at pains yesterday to point out that poultry was safe to eat and there was no immediate reason to fear an outbreak of the disease among humans. The owners of the turkey farm, M. and Mme Daniel Clair, and their children and workers, have been placed under quarantine at home and a surveillance zone has been set up covering a third of the département of Ain.
The disease - which has killed 90 people in Asia - can only spread to humans through extensive contact with an infected bird. Fears of a world-wide avian influenza pandemic - which might kill millions - are based on the possibility that the deadly virus might eventually mutate in contact with a human strain of flu. This is regarded as feasible but not inevitable.
However, the sense of crisis and foreboding in France was increased by the fact that - by coincidence - yesterday was the day selected for a human bird flu "simulation exercise" in the city of Lyons, 70 miles from the turkey outbreak in Bresse.
The Prime Minister, Dominique de Villepin, was in Lyons for the exercise, in which two "infected passengers" arrived at the airport from Asia and were immediately placed in an isolation ward in a local hospital. Anti-flu injections were then tested on volunteers.
Asked how avian flu could have infected turkeys which are kept indoors, M. Villepin said: "We are studying very carefully what happened on this farm. Depending on what we find, we may have to strengthen our security recommendations."
Meanwhile Bernard Vallat, France's former chief vet - now director general of the World Organisation for Animal Health - warned yesterday that the H5N1 virus was now so endemic in migratory wildfowl that is was certain to spread to almost every country in the world. The only possible exceptions, he said, were Australia and New Zealand.
This contradicts British predictions in recent days that avian flu is unlikely to come to the UK. Yesterday Slovakia confirmed its first cases of H5N1 in two dead birds, while Germany announced the deadly strain had been detected in wild birds in two more states.
M. Vallat also criticised the European Union for accepting French and Dutch demands that poultry farmers should be allowed to vaccinate their birds, which might mask the presence of the disease and make it harder to control.

A sign of things to come ?

Jennifer MacLeod, a smallholder with poultry in Canada wrote: | I am on Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada. Our small farmers are fighting the inane regulations of both provincial and federal governments. Already in Quebec, free-range and organic poultry have been banned from public sale as of January 1st, 2006. Farmers in the Province had six weeks to comply with these regulations brought out in November 2005. It orders all poultry to be raised for public sale must be raised "under cover" as a protection from Avian Influenza.
We in BC are trying to head off similar Provincial restrictions, and are battling new directives which affect our abattoir situations. This is an area where we have had NO incidents or complaints concerning tainted foods, but the new upgrades to bring the smallhold farmer into an area of "high bar" requirements (equal to the exporters requirements) are so cost inhibitive as to leave half, if not more, of our smallhold farmers lookjing at closing shop.
This means a great reduction of suppliers in the fastest growing market in North America, the free-range and organic meat and egg market.
I have talked with Christine Bilg, the head of the Dutch Smallhold Farmers Alliance who have made presentations to the World Health Organization on behalf of Small Farmholds in her country and across Europe. She cites similar problems for smallhold farmers in Europe.
It seems to me we are really looking at the old scenario of agri-business against any other meat and egg producer. It smacks of the corporation solution (Monsanto) versus the independant food producer, the genetic diversity that this embraces and the threat to smallhold farms as a way of life.
I have been researching this for three years now. Think about these implications. Is it possible that we are looking at a campaign to allow only agri-food producers to feed the public? |

Good find Ishaar! You'd think these crooks would be a bit more imaginative with their modus operandi!
I've posted my article on a blog I just set up, so there is now a more permanent link for it:
http://shoestring911.blogspot.com/2007/02/bird-flu-in-uk-another-gover nment.html
Feel free to forward this link on. Hopefully by raising some awareness we can avoid another outbreak of bird flu when the second stage of Winter Willow takes plane, on February 19-20. |

A comment from a bird expert on David Milibrains blog:
Quote: | Hi:
Indeed surprising you blame wild birds, when no evidence whatsoever to substantiate this notion.
No wild bird species known to be able to survive and sustain and spread H5N1.
V hard to find a living wild bird with H5N1, which lethal to most creatures it infects; and Dead Ducks Don't Fly, so aren't best vectors of flu.
- hence my suggesting the species being blamed is the Tooth Fairy Bird.
I live in Hong Kong - around epicentre of H5N1 (albeit of recent strains, which may have ancestor from UK a few decades ago).
No wild migratory ducks [don't have geese] yet found here with H5N1. Yet if wild birds were good vectors, shouldn't H5N1 be rife in our waterbirds?
If H5N1 were in UK's wild birds, there would be significant mortality. Or, maybe one Tooth Fairy Bird flew from Hungary to Suffolk, right iinto ventilation shaft of the turkey shed, then dematerialised?
If you have your secretary email my secretary (well, email me), I'd be happy to send you copy of paper from Waterbirds, with sound science re wild birds and H5N1.
Armed with science, maybe you can look for real culprit - like, err, a truck from BM's operations in Hungary.

Don't tell me you hadn't considered this !
MI5 warns UK labs of threat from al Qaeda

Ayman al-Zawahri has warned Western states that they face 'Islamic rage... far worse than anything you have seen'
MI5 officials are warning British laboratories that Islamist terrorists may try to steal deadly viruses.
Scientists and lab staff handling biological agents such as samples of polio, rabies, tuberculosis and avian flu, have been told their security measures will be vetted by police.
The crackdown comes after M15 told the Foreign Office that al Qaeda operatives are training in germ warfare.
The terror network is said to be trying to recruit university students with access to laboratories.
Ayman al-Zawahri, al Qaeda's second-in-command, warned Western states in a video on the internet: "You are facing the Islamic rage... what awaits you, should you press on [with current policies], is far worse than anything you have seen."
Tony McNulty, the Home Office minister in charge of policing, said: "The terror threat is always changing and we must adapt. As terrorists look for new ways to endanger life we have to take action to be one step ahead.
"That is why we are extending the list of controlled substances to prevent terrorist groups using chemical or biological materials as terrorist weapons."

How they leap from here:
"Ayman al-Zawahri has warned Western states that they face 'Islamic rage... far worse than anything you have seen"
to
here:
"MI5 officials are warning British laboratories that Islamist terrorists may try to steal deadly viruses. "
Is astonishing. Have they ever heard of something called evidence? Of course they haven't.
This is insane. They can basicly pluck stuff out of thin air and present it as reality.
"Things are different now. We're an Empire. We create reality" |

Agri-business will do all the producing of our chemical "food" and the giant retailers like Tesco and Sainsbury will kill off all the smaller groceries and unless you have an implanted chip you will not be able to buy food at all. Growing your own will be impossible because Monsanto has the seeds which of course die off after one season. No hunting will be allowed because you will not be allowed to enter wilderness areas anymore because of the threat of terrorists hiding in the bushes. Fish is already restricted.
Perhaps we will have to eat the rich!
I suggest hanging out around those exclusive health clubs that they frequent and grabbing a few of them as they head towards their four wheel drives. The fit ones would have some decent meat on them and would taste lovely barbecued in the no-go areas where the proles live. |

There was another outbreak of Bird Flu this time last year, among swans on the Baltic Island of Riems at a place called Rügen.
http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,1908372,00.html
On that island is a research laboratory known as the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute or Federal Research Institute for Animal Health
The Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute holds samples of H5N1.
I've just used Babel Fish to translate a document sent to me describing local flock owners expressing concern that the virus may have been released from the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute.
They are not satisfied with the answers given to their FOI requests. _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan. |
