GENEVA — The World Health Organization convened a meeting of an emergency advisory group Saturday to discuss the outbreak of swine flu which has infected people in Mexico and the southwestern United States.

WHO Director General Dr. Margaret Chan said the group would advise her on whether the worrying disease outbreak, which is reported to have claimed at least 20 lives so far, should be deemed a public health emergency of international concern.

NAPOLITANO SAYS US SHOULD SHOULD PREPARE FOR NEW FLU OUTBREAK SOON EVEN IF THIS ONE FIZZLES OUT (Reuters, 2009).

The world scientific community, including many disease research organizations, and scientific experts have been predicting an over due appearance of a pandemic similar to the Spanish flu and the black plague for many decades now. The former was responsible for the death of some 50 million people worldwide in the first half of the 20th century (1914) and was so deadly that the victims’ corpses were quickly and effectively destroyed due to fears of re-emergence. The death of 50 million people devastated world economies because of both human capital loss, but also mass protectionism due to quarantined borders. A pandemic would deal a major blow to a world economy already knocked into its worst recession in decades by the crisis in financial markets.

History suggests a new pandemic is long overdue, but has been delayed by accidental discoveries of anti-biotics. Politicians can ignore it, like they are effectively doing concerning the economic crises, but eventually it comes around full force, hitting victims devastatingly hard. The three pandemics of the 20th century were all linked to birds, but the new emerging viral disease has spread to humans, pigs, and other species; effectively crossing species gaps. The worry here is that viruses and bacteria have been quickly adapting to conventional medicine’s arsenal of anti-biotics and anti-virals, respectively.

Countries Prepare for Next Pandemic

The top EU health official urged Europeans on Monday to postpone nonessential travel to the United States and Mexico because of the swine flu virus, and Spanish health officials confirmed the first case outside North America.

When the next influenza pandemic strikes, New Zealand’s borders are likely to be closed to all incoming travellers. The lock may be on for several days, says a pandemic planning guide for businesses. All passengers may be quarantined for at least eight days, says the guide, published yesterday by the Ministries of Health and Economic Development.

The United States, however, has no plans on closing borders for the current bout of swine flu that has infected thousands of people worldwide and killed hundreds. Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) said the border should be closed until the threat is resolved.

“The public needs to be aware of the serious threat of swine flu, and we need to close our borders to Mexico immediately and completely until this is resolved,” Massa said in a statement. “I am making this announcement because I see this as a serious threat to the health of the American public and I do not believe this issue is receiving the attention it needs to have in the news,” Massa said.

It appears as if the cheerleaders of the re-emergence of such a deadly flu similar to those described above is making headway onto the human race. Indeed, academics and scientists such as Dr. Pianka, formerly of Texas University, was a large proponent of the re-emergence of a deadly flu to advocate killing off 90% of the human population in order to save the planet. “He then showed solutions for reducing the world’s population in the form of a slide depicting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” writes Mims. “War and famine would not do, he explained (WND, 2006).

It looks as if Dr. Pianka will get his wish, as there are four manifestations, commonly used by God in The Bible, for executing judgment upon people who reject Him and His commandments. These four are: the sword, famine, wild beasts and plague (see Ezek. 14:21). These are repeated over and over and are also mentioned in conjunction with the plagues of Revelation. Humanity has many sins to pay for indeed. The strange thing here is that Dr. Pianka is not the only person or group of people who have advocated for the extermination of a large segment of humanity, or the “useless eaters” as Henry Kissinger was quoted as saying. Henry represents the collective interests of the New World Order chiefly spoken through groups like the Council of Foreign Relations.

A New Plague?

The global pandemics that the 21st century encountered 6-8 years ago such as SARS and the outbreaks of bird flu in China have been the contemporary outbreaks that worried global scientific communities and spurred tremendous amounts of conspiracy theories. Infections like the bird flu encountered in China were suspected as being the proof that the influenza virus was on its way to spreading to humans; crossing the barrier from species to species. Indeed, this was the case with the H5N1 virus that did spread to humans, but was mainly contained in areas like China thanks to quick quarantines. he World Health Organisation has warned that H5N1 could seed a human pandemic that could infect one fifth of the world’s population, and hospitalise 30 million, of whom some 20 per cent would die (WHO, 2006).

In a strange series of coincidences, President Obama, while visiting Mexico during his trip in April, 2009, came into contact with a man infected with the suspected emergence of the next major flu pandemic spread by contact with swine. Obama was received at Mexico’s anthropology museum in Mexico City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archeologist who died the following day from symptoms similar to flu, Reforma newspaper reported (Bloomberg, 2009).

Pandemics encourage protectionism?

Pandemics, if they were allowed to flourish, would easily do so even easier than the outbreaks of the early 20th century because of the increased mobility of humans. Increasing trade between countries with diverse cultures and standards, courtesy of the so called free trade agreements amorously pushed by the world’s elite, make it easier for people and transport to easily spread disease. To curb outbreaks, governments of the past have utilized border restrictions and outright closures of them to halt outbreaks, but the World Health Organization (WHO) believes there is no need to close Mexican border despite over 1,000 cases of human infections with swine flu registered in the country, Mexico’s health minister said Friday (Xinhua, 2009). The caveat here is that they say this because they do not wish to spur even further protectionism that the financial crisis of late has been encouraging.
