David Heyman during an interview in Chennai on Thursday.


Chennai: A combination of advances in biotechnology and easy access to inputs has heightened the threat of bio-attacks, David Heyman, an international expert on bioterrorism, said here on Thursday.


In an interview with The Hindu, Mr. Heyman, Director and Senior Fellow, Homeland Security Program, at the Washington D.C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), described the anthrax attacks in the U.S. [in 2001], and the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak in the Asia Pacific region [in 2003] as “two wakeup calls” for the threats posed by bio-attacks. “Those two things said we have got to be concerned about disease, and the possibility of it being used for harmful purposes.
”

The former was restricted to the U.S., but had international repercussions: “On every continent, in every country practically, there were hoaxes and fears that required the governments’ attention — law enforcement and/or public health authorities who had to run down to see if they were real.
”

Although SARS “happened primarily in Asia, and North America, all the world had to be concerned because of the speed of travel, everyone becomes a carrier.
”

Access to bio-weapons was evident from recent attacks such as the chemical warfare in Iraq, and the polonium assassination in London.


“What you can get your hands on, and do some damage is certainly within the realm of possibility now, and the realm of existence.
”

The difficulties in tracing a bio-attack posed another problem. “Unlike nuclear or even explosive attacks, bio is unique in that whether you are a state actor, or a non-state actor, it is very hard to trace.” And, “You leave very few footprints when preparing for a bio-attack.
”

The technology needed for a bio-attack, Mr. Heyman, who is a former senior adviser to the U.S. Secretary of Energy, said, “has become more and more available to private citizens and small groups,” as they were getting “smaller, faster and cheaper.” In the last 20 years, the technology had evolved “as rapidly and as effectively as computers have, almost in parallel, if not more so.” This trend was mainly driven by the race for the Human Genome Project, and the application of biotechnology to pharmaceuticals and life sciences. The main technologies used for bio-engineering were now “basically the equivalent of desktop capability” and were available off the shelf or over the counter, as they were dual-use in nature. Striking a note of caution, he said: “Where technology is available and intent is there; harm can be done.
”

Mr. Heyman, however, entered a caveat on bio-attacks by non-state actors. “It’s still hard to do. You need to be technologically-versed. Access to technology and material doesn’t mean that you can actually successfully achieve bio-weapons. In fact, bio-weapons are much harder to do than explosives.
”

Drawing a parallel with the recent Gujarat serial blasts, he said: “These were technologically simple explosives; bio-weapons are much more complicated and to get that right, we have to get a lot of other things right, so it is still hard to do.
”

Mr. Heyman, who prepared a report on the working of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), said Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) continued to pose the most concern, as it was the “preferred weapon of choice for terrorists.” Over 55 per cent of all terrorist attacks involve IEDs, next are probably gun attacks, he pointed out.


Major lesson

The major lesson from the recent bombings in India was that “States cooperate and the Central government does not necessarily force that to happen.
”

The Ahmedabad-attacks case, he said, was cracked because there was inter-State cooperation between the domestic security and intelligence agencies.


Referring to the trans-State dynamics of the serial bombing, he said: “That’s the way terrorists operate, that’s the way they operate within the state, within a country and now within the world. We have to take trans-border actions. Terrorists take advantage of bureaucracies. They are going to hide in the seams of society and that’s what they do best and we who seek to protect society have got to break down those barriers between states, between governments and that’s true internationally.
”

The Pentagon’s alarming project: Avian Flu Biowar Vaccine
*****************************************************************

Global Research
by F William Engdahl
August 14, 2008

There is alarming evidence accumulated by serious scientific sources that the US Government is about to or already has ‘weaponized’ Avian Flu. If the reports are accurate, this could unleash a new pandemic on the planet that could be more devastating than the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic which killed an estimated 30 million people worldwide before it eventually died out.
Pentagon and NIH experiments with remains in frozen state of the 1918 virus are the height of scientific folly Is the United States about to unleash a new racially selective pandemic through the process of mandatory vaccination with an alleged vaccine "against" Avian Flu?

There is reason to believe that sections of the international pharmaceutical industry cartel are acting in concert with the US Government to develop a genetically modified H5N1 virus substance that could unleash a man-made pandemic, perhaps more deadly than the 1918 ‘Spanish Influenza’ pandemic claiming up to 30 million lives1

Rima E. Laibow, MD, head of the Natural Solutions Foundation, a citizen watchdog group monitoring the pharmaceutical industry states, "Our best intelligence estimate is that pandemic Avian Flu has already been created through genetic engineering in the United States, fusing the deadly genome of the 1918 Pandemic, misnamed the ‘Spanish Flu’, with the DNA of the innocuous H5N1 virus in a growth medium of human kidney cells, according to the National Institutes of Health and the vaccine’s manufacturer.
Some virologists believe that this would insure that the man-made mutant virus recognizes human cells and knows how to invade them"

A LOT of people still dont believe the US government would dare to carry out another 911 false flag attack at a massive scale - through pathogens to carry out a nationwide pandemic

There are millions of plastic caskets piling up in Georgia (US Georgia) and there is no doubt, the bodies would not be from a massive NWO international massacre, but most likely an incredibly infectious engineered mutation of H5N1 H7N2 anthrax you name it - which will pave way for the invasion and achieve the NWO elite's plan to DEPOPULATE THE PLANET - is it not curious to see all the headlines about MURDERED biologists in recent months and anthrax probe and suicide of the 'culprit' scientist? Do they KNOW something that YOU DONT?

It is time to get real, its all over Hollywood propaganda films like 'I Am Legend' 'The Happening' so on so forth - they are WARNING us

YOU, American sheeples, are running out of time - THE ROUND UP IS COMING - YOU ARE NOT SAFE where you are - YOU must be prepared if you care about yourselves and your families - no I am not at the safest place and in the safest moment but at least I am trying to tell you to start getting your assets out of USA and start stockpiling on canned goods, antiseptic antivirals, radiation pills, and GET OUT OF MAJOR US CITIES - the dollar crash is coming, and the sooner that takes place the sooner you will see a massive false flag terror event on US soil - US is going to be invaded too, so better make PLAN B other than worrying about your next paychecks

All San Francisco residents asked to participate in October drill
*********************************************************************

17 August 2008

A theoretical attack on downtown San Francisco honed skill of some 500 emergency responders Saturday, dispatched without being told nature of the mass casualty offensive

As part of the drill, resources were sapped by a mock nearby shooting rampage



Multi-agency weapons of mass destruction drills are conducted on a regular basis in San Francisco, — each time with challenging new scenario — drawn from San Francisco, surrounding cities, The California National Guard, the U.
S Army and the FBI



While those agencies are at the forefront, many other agencies also participate such as state environment officials tasking nearby and outlying regional protection from spread of mass weapon contaminates

“It’s truly taxing the resources here in San Francisco, but that’s what it’s all about,” explained San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White in a briefing following the exercise



San Francisco Fire Department Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White bolstered

and San Francisco Fire Commission President George Lau

“Each time we do, this the better off all of us are

“We can only learn so much in a classroom –we always work together very well — but it’s under these types of constraints and circumstances we are actually trying to simulate something as real as it can get”

The world headquarters of Bank of America, located at 555 California Street at Kearny Street, was volunteered as ground zero in public-private sectors training



Both San Francisco Fire and Police mobile command vans were in place as the Fire Department became lead agency for coordinating response Response protocol calls for both command centers to be on scene within 30 minutes of an attack

A new Fire Department mobile command van went into service this week

Agencies determine onscene response, communicating actions to the exeuctive and legislative branches of San Francisco government In Mayor Newsom’s absence, District 2 Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier served as Acting Mayor

Arriving situation assessment determined that the scene had been struck by chemical attack, with specialist responders quickly suited protectively for evaluation




Airtight and triple-gloved suits require frequent and demanding task of wiping mask

Temperture rapidly rises inside suits
Protcol for staying in the suit is 30 minutes

Cyanide was discovered the klling agent and decontamination tents were erected while medical personnel triaged victims and initiated treatment protocols


San Francisco students volunteered as simulated victims

The next drill, termed Shake Up San Francisco, will strategize multiple attacks throughout San Francisco and will ask all residents to participate

Timed to begin with noon siren testing, the drill will be held in October at a date to be announced next week

Funding for the $250,000 August 15 drill came from federal grants




On Saturday, the San Francisco Fire Department, along with a group of other public and private agencies, ran a large-scale training exercise revolving around an urban weapons of mass destruction terrorist attack Here, an emergency worker in a full hazmat suit examines the faux chemical that was supposedly found in the attack, which was said to be sodium cyanide, a poison that quickly affects peoples respiratory systems On the ground behind, volunteers playing the role of dead victims lay prone

SAN FRANCISCO--"Weapons of mass destruction multi-agency exercise"

If I've ever covered an event with a more stark title, I can't think of it

But there I was Saturday morning, along with several hundred firefighters, police officers, Army National Guard personnel, and members of other local, state, and federal agencies for a large-scale exercise designed to help train all these emergency responders how to deal with a major terrorist attack involving suspected chemical weapons or other bio-hazards

As a bulletin announcing the exercise put it, the goal was for the agencies' personnel to "identify the emergency and work as one large team to protect and save lives and mitigate the hazards"

Practically speaking, this was quite the undertaking Upon arriving in the middle of San Francisco's usually crowded financial district, I encountered no traffic, but a wide variety of emergency vehicles and dozens upon dozens of people in almost every official uniform you can imagine

This is not the first time San Francisco has run an exercise like this. Last year, the city ran another such scenario at the famous pyramid-shaped Transamerica building.
This time, the owners of 555 California St, one of the city's largest office buildings, had asked the city to prepare an exercise in their building And so for the last year, the city and the owner of that building and another nearby had been planning this day


For the exercise, the fire department blocked off several streets in downtown San Francisco These streets were clogged with fire trucks and many other emergency vehicles from several state and federal agencies

The scenario was this: a terrorist with a backpack full of sodium cyanide--a chemical used in gold mining operations that quickly attacks and shuts down the human respiratory system--unleashed it inside 555 California

The attack instantly kills a number of people and injures others

Because of the victims, the fire department is the first to arrive on the scene, and when the firefighters discover what's happened, they isolate the building's lobby and deny entry into the building by anyone else, and then quickly set up a mass decontamination system nearby And then they call in the specialists

This is, of course, the whole point: to bring in the many different types of specialists to deal with the variety of complexities a situation like this creates

But to make it even more complicated, the scenario had more to it: emergency personnel also discover an improvised explosive device inside 555 California, and just when they're dealing with everything going on there, there's also a shooting in another office building nearby

By the time the press was allowed into the scene, all this was under way We got a quick briefing from SFFD public information officer Mindy Talmadge, who explained that the exercise, which cost about a quarter million dollars, was paid for with federal grant money

One of the elements of the scenario was that no one actually knows at first what the terrorist has attacked with It seems obvious it is some form of chemical weapon, but the specifics are still a mystery Finding out and then disseminating that information is one of the goals of the exercise


Volunteers playing dead victims lay on the floor in the lobby of 555 California Street, one of the largest office buildings in San Francisco The scenario run on Saturday was that a terrorist had unleashed sodium cyanide inside the building, instantly killing many victims and potentially contaminating the surrounding area

"They knew it was a CBRN (chemical, biological, radioactive or nuclear) event," said Talmadge, "and that it was a terrorist event They don't know what the chemical is They have to decide based on what they find and what they heard"

In the scenario, the attack has happened on a busy weekday, but of course, it's actually a quiet Saturday and downtown is rather empty There are some random pedestrians walking through the scene--which is closed to automobiles, but not foot traffic, since many local businesses were open--and it is sort of odd to see them passing through what is otherwise an extremely unusual and macabre scene

"I doubt people would be walking calmly around" during a real emergency, Talmadge admits

But of course, shutting down several blocks of the city's financial district on a weekday would be a pretty significant thing

At a press briefing later involving the chiefs of both the fire and police department, I asked if there was any possibility of ever running this kind of exercise during a workday, since it would seem that it would be helpful for these emergency personnel to learn how to handle such a situation with countless people and vehicles around

"It would be a challenge, but if the community wanted it, we would plan and find the resources to do it" and deal with the inconveniences, said SFPD Chief Heather Fong

Another interesting part of all this is just how slow everything and everyone seems to be moving

Even as the exercise was in full swing, everywhere you looked, emergency personnel were standing around in groups, talking, sitting on overturned newspaper boxes, and otherwise waiting for something to do


Members of the San Francisco Fire Department sit down inside their hazmat suits awaiting the order to enter the building in which the chemical attack was said to have happened

One man from the 95th Civil Support Team--a federal agency that specializes in WMD situations--in a blue hazmat suit that was pulled about halfway up his body, was intently looking at a device in his hands that had an orange antenna and looked a little bit like a Wi-Fi router He said it was an air monitor and was used to measure what was in the air nearby

At the same time, a fireman in a bright yellow hazmat suit was brandishing another device, this one looking like a circa 1984 cell phone He said it was a gas detector used to determine what gases might be in the area

All in all though, most of the people milling around, many in hazmat suits, others in a variety of official uniforms, were looking bored and like they wanted something to do

But this is according to plan That's because one thing that seems very important to everyone in charge here is that in the course of trying to help out the victims of the attack, the emergency responders don't themselves become victims

(Credit: Daniel Terdiman/CNET News)
And that means moving slowly and methodically

According to SFFD Chief Joanne Hayes-White, one of the main goals of this scenario is to the members of all the various agencies that would be involved in the response to a real attack together so that they begin to know each other

"It's difficult to have the level of seriousness (you would have) in a real situation" in an exercise, Hayes-White acknowledged, "but it's a good lesson for us"

She said that prior to September 11, emergency personnel were trained to charge right into buildings where something had gone seriously wrong But the lessons of the post-September 11 world is that it is important to know exactly what the situation is before sending vital personnel in unprepared

Still, Hayes-White admitted that it is hard for highly trained responders to just stand around and wait for as much as two hours--which is what was happening Saturday

"They might be feeling a little frustrated and a little awkward about standing around," she told me "But we want to keep everybody safe And it's sometimes difficult to simulate that"

After awhile, we went back inside the lobby of 555 California where the man from the 95th CST and another from the police department, both in serious hazmat suits, were investigating what was clearly supposed to be the chemical agent causing all the ruckus

With the "victims" still lying prone on the floor nearby, the two methodically worked on the chemical in an attempt to identify it

The idea here is that until now, no one knew what the chemical was, and therefore how to respond to it Soon enough, however, word came that they had identified it as sodium cyanide, and quickly the word went out over the radios

The men take three samples of the chemical, one that is put away, never to be opened, one to be tested and a third for a re-test, if that's necessary

And it's tricky work, largely because the men are trying to work with cotton swabs and other small items while wearing thick gloves Indeed, as they work, they drop their swabs on the floor at least once

They are also working with a small computer that a member of the 95th CST tells me is called an Ouera, and is used to analyze the chemicals found at the scene

"It tests whatever the substance is," said Sgt. Maj.
Daniel Morales of the 95th CST "We take the sample over to our mobile laboratory And if they're not able to determine what it is, they'll take it over to Lawrence Livermore" National Lab

Eventually, the two men in hazmat suits are done, and they leave.
They walk across the street where they are put through what is called technical decontamination This is a process involving a careful and thorough scrubbing down of their suits, and then each part of the multiple layers they are wearing The idea is to ensure that nothing touches their skin until they are completely clean


The exercise will continue for several hours, but the major activity is over now

Since this wasn't the first time San Francisco has had an exercise like this, it's natural to wonder what the city learned from doing it again

Hayes-White said that, among other things, she felt that the various agencies had found some improvements in the way they were communicating with each other during the exercise And of course, such communications are vital since with several hundred emergency personnel on the scene, it's crucial that everyone know what is going on and what they should be doing

But Hayes-White also stressed that much about the day would only be known afterwards at a series of reviews of the exercise

For me, it was very interesting to watch this evolve

Given that such an attack would almost certainly happen during a busy weekday, it's hard to feel like this exercise, held on a quiet weekday is anything like what the real thing would be like

I think, ultimately, the real point of this is what Hayes-White alluded to: the need for the various agencies to learn how to work together and to build a collective command structure in the event something horrible like a WMD attack actually happened

And to be honest, anything that these agencies can learn about how to proceed during what Fong called an "inevitable" attack is worthwhile Let's just hope these agencies have the time to carry out a few more of these scenarios and learn a few more lessons before that happens

How Much Are You Worth?

The AP gets the scoop on the EPA’s decision to devalue a “statistical life”

By Curtis Brainard
Fri 11 Jul 2008

Last month, I wrote a column about the challenges journalists face in covering the ethical decisions that affect humanity’s response to global climate change Well here’s a doozie: What is a human life worth — not in any abstract, existential sense, but in cold, hard dollars?

That was the subject of a keenly important article by The Associated Press’s Seth Borenstein yesterday, who discovered that the US Environmental Protection Agency has discounted the “value of statistical life” by almost $1 million over the last five years The practice of monetizing life at all sounds nefarious, but, according a Forbes article from last January, it “makes sense” in a world in which we expect government to protect its citizens from things like global warming:

Although some may consider it immoral to even raise the question of the dollar value of life, risk regulation agencies can’t avoid doing so We would soon exhaust all of our resources if we tried to do everything that would make our lives safer A zero pollution, risk-free society is unattainable
Borenstein’s piece for the AP reflects this same rationale:

The EPA figure is not based on people’s earning capacity, or their potential contributions to society, or how much they are loved and needed by their friends and family — some of the factors used in insurance claims and wrongful-death lawsuits


Instead, economists calculate the value based on what people are willing to pay to avoid certain risks, and on how much extra employers pay their workers to take on additional risks Most of the data is drawn from payroll statistics; some comes from opinion surveys According to the EPA, people shouldn’t think of the number as a price tag on a life

How To Protect Yourself In A Pandemic
********************************************

Dr Rima Laibow, MD

1 Introduction
2 Memorandum from NBC Protection Expert (Quarantine)
3 Fourteen Preparedness Points
4 Other Preparedness Steps

Introduction

Natural Solutions Foundation has recently identified a potential for the near-term release of a Weaponized Avian Flu You can read about our analysis at: http://www. healthfreedomusa. org/?p=750 - however, in this posting we concentrate on what you can do about the threat While the threats are many, we know the solutions are natural

We received the following information for the Health Freedom eAlert

This information was provided to us from a retired NBC government employee (NBC = Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical)

Since retirement, he has gone on to teach preparations to people on warfare and pandemics He is also a CERT trainer and travels abroad to teach other countries what to do in earthquakes and other natural disasters

Please take advantage of what this man has to offer, as we forward his information, with his blessings, to you

Quarantine, Quarantine, Quarantine

I have been asked repeatedly about how to quarantine properly and so this private memorandum is being written to respond to that question

The first thing we need to consider is why we are quarantining. Remember quarantine is due to a biological event and not a chemical or nuclear incident.
For these last two you should be sheltering in place A proper quarantine will protect you from what ever it is you are trying to protect against, henceforth there will be discussing different stages of quarantine

1. The first and most basic stage is to go home lock the doors and stay there. DO NOT try to seal up your home with duct tape and plastic as you will not have enough oxygen to breathe within a very short time. This method is used for chemical events where you need to be indoors for a very short period of time. Most quarantines will last days if not weeks and months.
At this stage you can actually go out in to your front yard or back yard and breathe the air just fine just as long as you do not breathe someone else's air that might be infected with an airborne communicable disease or virus This could include certain animals and insects, all depending on the biological involved

All infected people should remain a good distance (minimum 20 feet) away from you and anyone else sheltering with you Anyone (again including certain animals and some insects) that has been in a possibly infected area should be kept separate (quarantined separate) from you until they have sought proper medical attention (if it is available) and been cleared or they have run the course of waiting the required length of time to be sure that symptoms will or will not show up

Remember in most biologicals symptoms do not show up for several days

(Note from NSF - we have been examining the historical record for latency and infectious periods (for example, for the 1918 pandemic and for the unweaponized Avian Flu). The latency period could be up to 2 weeks. Our current best estimate is that people will start to notice symptoms as soon as a week after disbursal of the pathogen; the disease will, if especially virulent, cause death within 72 hours of first symptoms. For example, if the pathogen were released, say, on August 23rd, people would start to notice symptoms by the end of the Labor Day Holiday (Labor Day is September 1st this year). By the time most students are back in school, say, September 5th, the media would begin to notice and the public authorities would be empowered to act, we suspect, within 72 hours of mass media notice (we believe the alternative media might "get wind" of the impending pandemic a day or a half day earlier). That brings us to September 8th. We can expect national "lock down" and Martial Law within a day or two, as people panic to obtain food and protection.
End of Internet communications; possibly of telephone as well We note that the "Pandemic Avian Flu Vaccine" is scheduled to be delivered to the United States from the Chinese pharmaceutical plant where it is being made during August)

(NaturalNews) The federal government would need to quarantine infected households and ban public gatherings to contain pandemic flu, according to a computer simulation study conducted by researchers from Virginia Tech and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

"You wouldn't go out to the movies.
You wouldn't congregate with people," said researcher Stephen Eubank "You'd pretty much be staying home with the doors and windows battened down"

The consensus among health experts is that a pandemic, or global epidemic, of influenza is inevitable The last such pandemic, in 1918, killed between 40 and 100 million people
