"Obama gets billions for ‘pandemic’ Swine Flu" by F. William Engdahl. FSO Editorial 06/25/2009

In the United States, the Obama Administration has strong-armed the US Congress to appropriate 300% more money for Swine Flu ‘preparedness’ than Congress planned. Responding to lobbying by the Obama administration, the US Congress has approved an eye-popping $7.65 billion for the non-proven pandemic influenza.

where is the accountability to the american taxpayer?

Trying to improve national readiness for a potential outbreak of the avian flu, the Senate approved nearly $8 billion on Thursday to stockpile vaccines and other drugs to combat the disease and to bolster local health agencies and hospitals.

But we must also prepare our own country in the event that a global pandemic reaches America. That's why I recently introduced the AVIAN Act, which helps make sure that Americans are protected from a possible outbreak of the avian flu.



where did that money go as well?

Why do you presume it passed? It didnt. Though it was the *first* bill of its kind offered, soon enough there were 11 similar bills out and another was eventually passed. Sorry

So if the government wants to ensure they are as prepared as much as is possible against such a disaster they are wrong but if it htis and they are no prepared they will also be wrong, sounds like a catch 22. I would prefer we are as prepared as much as is possible, waiting to the last second is ludicrous. Oh well, some are going to complain no matter what they do, like the boy who cried wolf too many times, people simply stop listening.

Why save people from dying of Swine Flu when it was naturally engineered to kill people?

So is cancer and many others, don't want to work on curing or treating those either? Oh wait, so long as it does not harm me or my friends and family I am down with culling the herd, darn, it doesn't work that way, guess we are stuck with option #1, treatment.

Who says the pandemic is unproven? There is another thread about this, I posted some links where the World Health Organization has in fact declared swine flu 'pandemic', meaning world-wide. You unbelievers may do a search.

The swine flu was declared a pandemic quite some time ago, OP.

I'm still waiting for the black helicopters filled with free masons, UN troops and lizard people to take me and my family away to a FEMA camp.
