WHAT IS SARS BEING USED FOR?

April 29. SARS is being used as a classic diversionary OP.

This non-disease, that has re-shuffled already existing pneumonias and influenza and colds into a new category, comes at just the right time.

The war In Iraq is over. At least phase one. No one seems to know whether Saddam is alive. So far, every attempt to nail down WMDs has perished. Charges have been leveled that the US encouraged looting.

A priceless museum and a priceless library have been sacked. The history of the people in that country is being erased, always an ominous sign after a war.

There is the question of who is going to take over the political reins in Iraq. The always-fatuous idea of an imposed democracy there is sinking into a morass of a million Shiíites versus surviving elements of the Baíath Party functionaries.

Demonstrations call for America to get out of Iraq.

Huge numbers of children are ill and dying.

The very real issue of the tons of depleted uranium in the country is being suppressed.

We are getting private reports that a number of US soldiers are sick already.

A lot of issues need to be swept under the carpet---and poof, along comes SARS. Whether or not its appearance was coordinated, up front, to coincide with these scandals and tragedies in Iraq, one thing is for sure. SARS has been used as a smokescreen to keep the global public diverted and in fear.

As usual, the press is unconscionable in its attitude of providing the images and the words to push public consciousness from one fear to another.

Over and over, we read reports about the ghost town of Toronto, and yet email after email from citizens there show the lie in that. Are we to mark this ìerrorî down to sloppy coverage?

SARS=OP.

WHO BACKS OFF ON SARS

April 29. WHO states that SARS has peaked outside China.

In other words, itís a bust as a global epidemic.

In other words, negotiations between Canada and WHO have produced a quid pro quo. WHO will ease off its travel advisory against Toronto, and Canada will shut up about the fact that its premier SARS researcher, Frank Plummer, sees no reason to call the coronavirus the cause of ANYTHING..

This is a bit of a blow for the voracious virus hunters at WHO labs around the world, but donít feel sorry for them. Theyíll be back. SARS is just a prelude for the next scientific fraud.

As media reports continue to paint Toronto as a ghost town with empty streets, emails pour in that contradict this claim. Itís mostly biz as usual in that city---except for the fact that the tourism and convention industries have taken a hit. And other related businesses have been hurt, too. But the streets are far from empty. Just more media lies.

CDC/WHO STARTING CYA OPERATION ON SARS

April 28. It's Cover Your Ass time at the CDC and WHO. Today, Reuters is running a piece that reveals much, if you read between the lines.

"There are more questions than answers right now about SARS because doctors are not 100 percent certain about the virus that causes the disease and are still collecting data, says Dr. Jim Hughes, head of infectious diseases at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

Translation: The coronavirus is only found in 30 percent of the SARS cases in Canada. It's a bust.

"The World Health Organization reported 2,722 suspected SARS cases worldwide, with 106 deaths in 16 countries. This compares to a minimum of 250,000 deaths a year globally from influenza and its complications, but doctors are not ready to dismiss SARS."

Translation: The so-called global epidemic of SARS is not an epidemic. In fact, the suspected cases of SARS could be nothing more than flu/pneumonia of the types long known to exist.

There are people at WHO/CDC who are devoutly hoping the whole SARS scare fades into the woodwork before their fraudulent research becomes commonly understood.

And if the scare does vanish soon, WHO/CDC will declare a victory for their "containment strategies" and move on to other frauds.

Except for one thing: If WHO moves on too soon, Toronto will sue them into the dirt for lost business and trade. So WHO must hang around with further lies for awhile.

The challenge is in controlling the controlled press, modulating the slow fade of SARS as other stories take priority, until the public says, "Oh yeah, SARS. I guess we dodged that bullet. Did you read about that kidnapping in Geneva?"

I can tell you this. Behind the scenes in Canada, there are little meetings going on right now. The subject is this big-time WHO researcher, Dr. Frank Plummer, who admits he's only seeing the coronavirus in 30 percent of diagnosed Canadian SARS patients. The question is, should Canadian political leaders use this revelation to blow the whistle on the whole WHO research scam, or should they avoid that thorny path and simply wait out the scam until it blows away?

CORONAVIRUS TAKES ANOTHER HIT IN CANADA

April 28. Dr. Frank Plummer just won't stop talking. He heads up Canada's number one WHO lab investigating SARS.

He has successively revised his figures on what percentage of SARS cases have the virus. First it was 60, then 50, then 40, and now it's 30.

This would, in a non-hysterical situation, complete discount any role for the coronavirus. But no. WHO pays no attention to Plummer's data, it just plows on.

Plummer also told the NY Times, on April 24, that he had, in fact, tested the virus on several different species of animals---rabbits, guinea pigs. mice---and got nada for his efforts. The animals stayed happy and healthy.

So even by conventional standards of disease research, the coronavirus is a complete bust.
