Swine Flu Martial Law Bill Clears Massachusetts Senate
State Legislators with NWO agendas will try to pass this in all 50 states! They will use this inflated Swine Flu scare to take away our guns and liberty! We can’t let them! -- Bill
Molon labe ! (Come and take them!) -- King Leonidas

It took corporate media swine flu hysteria to ram through a martial law bill in Massachusetts. S18 gives the Governor the power to authorize the deployment and use of force to distribute supplies and materials and local authorities will be allowed to enter private residences for investigation and to quarantine individuals.
http://www.infowars.com/s...
The bill specifically mandates the following:
(2) to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated any building or facility, and to allow the reopening of the building or facility when the danger has ended;
(3) to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated, or to destroy any material;
(4) to restrict or prohibit assemblages of persons;
(5) to require a health care facility to provide services or the use of its facility, or to transfer the management and supervision of the health care facility to the department or to a local public health authority;
The Associated Press reports:
The Massachusetts Senate has unanimously passed a pandemic flu preparation bill that has languished in the Legislature before the recent swine flu outbreak.
The 36-0 vote today sends the measure to the House. Both branches have taken it up in past years, but have not been able to agree on the details.
The new Senate version would allow the public health commissioner — in a public health emergency — to close or evacuate buildings, enter private property for investigations, and quarantine individuals.
They got it passed just in time for this:

================================
Swine Flu Pandemic Declared Imminent as World Alert Raised
NWO Globalism verses Human Safety
In these post-cold war days, we dont face a single concentrated threat. We face a series of decentralized, transnational threats: State Sponsored terrorism, a global financial crisis, global warming, energy scarcity, nuclear proliferation and, as were reminded today, possible health pandemics like swine flu.
These decentralized threats grow out of the widening spread and quickening pace of globalization and are magnified by it. Instant global communication and rapid international travel can sometimes lead to universal, systemic shocks. A bank meltdown or a virus will not stay isolated. They have the potential to hit nearly everywhere at once. They can wreck the key nodes of complex international systems.
So how do we deal with these situations?
Do we build centralized global institutions that are strong enough to respond to transnational threats?
Or do we rely on diverse and decentralized communities and nation-states?
Phoenix police wearing gear to protect against flu...Monsanto would love for us to think that the swine flu outbreak has nothing to do with their genetically modified frankenpigs being raised for slaughter & ??? at Smithfield Factory Farm in La Gloria, Mexico, which is ground zero of the Monsanto Swine/Bird/Human flu virus according to the locals surrounding that area, whom most have become sick since the outbreak started in February. You betcha their trying to change the name of the flu, it's costing Monsanto and Smithfield millions from lost pork sales of their genetically patented "Genepacker" pigs, interesting name there hey? How did the swine become infected? Was it through their feed??? Was it through their routine anti-biotic injections perhaps the feed or their injections were contaminated with the virus which then passed into the enviroment through bodily swine fluids and solid wastes and the clouds of swarm flies that swarm and breed in the sewage lagoons were the vectors that carried the virus to the population, where it then spread, person to person...Monsanto is notorious for creating biological disasters. The Obama administration "is" the Monsanto administration. ...don't expect to get the truth out of any of them or the main stream media...my bets are on the locals...I'd trust boots on the ground any day over Monsanto's Genepackers in the White House.

DHS Sets Guidelines For Possible Swine Flu Quarantines
McGaw appears to have been referring to the section of federal law that allows the Surgeon General to detain and quarantine Americans "reasonably believed to be infected" with a communicable disease. A Centers for Disease Control official said on Tuesday that swine flu deaths in the U.S. are likely. Federal quarantine authority is limited to diseases listed in presidential executive orders; President Bush added "novel" forms of influenza with the potential to create pandemics in Executive Order 13375. Anyone violating a quarantine order can be punished by a $250,000 fine and a one-year prison term.
'ALERT' - DO NOT TAKE A SWINE FLU VACCINE !!
Potential Dangers Of Anti-Influenza Drug Tamiflu
By Dr. Ben Kim on November 26, 2005I just read a disturbing article in the New York Times about recent reports of deaths and abnormal behaviour in Japanese children who were given the anti-influenza drug Tamiflu.
Here is a summary of the key points I learned from this article:
1. Tamiflu was approved for use in the United States in 1999, and in Japan in late 2000.
2. According to Roche, the manufacturer of Tamiflu, of the 13 million prescriptions written for children worldwide, 11.6 million have been in Japan.
3. According to documents prepared by FDA reviewers, 12 Japanese children, ages 1 to 16, have died after taking Tamiflu. Six of these children, ages 2 to 4, were completely healthy before getting the flu. In the words of the FDA reviewers, "it is concerning that six young patients died suddenly within one to two days after initiation of oseltamivir therapy."
4. Also according to the FDA reviewers, there have been 32 reported instances of "neuropsychiatric events" worldwide, with 31 of them occuring in Japan. These neuropsychiatric events include delirium, abnormal behaviour, and hallucinations.
5. Two Japanese boys, ages 12 and 13, jumped from the second story windows of their homes after receiving two doses of Tamiflu.
6. Two Japanese teenagers who died after receiving Tamiflu are thought to have committed suicide.
7. An 8 year old Japanese boy had a frightening hallucination three hours after receiving his first dose of Tamiflu and rushed into the street outside of his house.
8. There have been multiple reports of severe skin reactions in adults and children all over the world who have taken Tamiflu.
Predictably, Roche has responded to this data by saying that "the reports of these problems were rare given that millions of people had used the drug, and that the problems might have been caused by the flu itself."
Roche has also said that "the death rate among children taking Tamiflu was only one in a million and that the rate of death and other problems was no greater than in children with the flu who did not take the drug."
If this is in fact true, then why take the drug in the first place? If the rates of death for children who take Tamiflu and children who don't take it are the same, why take Tamiflu at all?
Sorry for the cliche, but no amount of money in this world could persuade me to take Tamiflu or any other flu drug or vaccine. And you better believe that I'd do everything I possibly could to make sure that my own child is never exposed to such drugs. It amazes and saddens me to know that so many children and adults all over the world take drugs like Tamiflu thinking that they are perfectly safe and that they are doing something good for their health.

Swine Flu Genes From Pigs Only, Not Humans or Birds
The deadly H1N1 influenza virus that’s fueling fears of a global pandemic is a hybrid of two common pig flu strains, scientists who have studied the disease told Wired.com Tuesday. Earlier reports called it a combination of pig, human and avian influenza strains.
The findings may resolve some uncertainty about the nature of the virus, but much is still unknown about its origins and effects.
“This is what we call a reassortment between two currently circulating pig flu viruses,” said Andrew Rambaut, a University of Edinburgh viral geneticist. “Why it’s emerged in humans is anyone’s guess. It hasn’t been seen before in pigs as far as I know.”
Rambaut analyzed the gene sequences of viral samples taken from two infected California children. The samples were collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and made available to researchers through an international database of flu genomes.
His conclusions were echoed by Eddie Holmes, a virus evolution specialist at the University of Pennsylvania, and Steven Salzberg, a University of Maryland bioinformaticist. Both have looked at the CDC-provided sequences. The CDC could not be reached for comment, but a document released to scientists and obtained by Wired.com affirms their analysis.
As Flu Spreads Around the World, Obama Asks Congress for $1.5B to Fight It
By Susie Madrak Wednesday Apr 29, 2009 6:45amI presume one of the things officials want to buy are more respirators, which will be very important if there's a pandemic:
More evidence of the global spread of a deadly flu emerged Tuesday, with new cases reported on four continents and a growing number of people in the U.S. requiring hospital treatment.
Health authorities said they have found possible cases of the new strain of A/H1N1 swine flu in the Middle East and Asia.
In the U.S., the number of confirmed cases rose to 66, including five people in California and Texas being treated at hospitals, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health departments.
The new data indicated the strain was causing more severe illness in the U.S. than originally seen; only one of the first 40 confirmed cases had to be hospitalized. President Barack Obama on Tuesday asked Congress for $1.5 billion in additional funds to fight the epidemic, and lawmakers convened for a hearing to evaluate measures taken so far.
Many of the people confirmed with the swine flu outside Mexico were infected on trips to the country, officials said.
There also is evidence of transmission in the U.S.
Officials said 45 people got sick at St. Francis Preparatory School in the New York City borough of Queens after students returned from a trip to Mexico. The 45 ill include several students, staff and relatives who didn't go to Mexico but who may have caught the virus from those who did.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Tuesday that it was likely additional students had contracted the virus at St. Francis, a private Catholic school with 2,700 students. Hundreds of students, as well as staff, became sick with flu-like symptoms. The city decided against further testing to instead focus its investigation on new clusters of the virus.
Piglet Flew: Time for Call Options on a few Toxic Drug Companies?
Here's what our local State propaganda mill is sending to health professionals, presumably on orders from the puppeteers:
The Placer County Health and Human Services Department, Community Health, Clinics, and Animal Services Division, continues to work closely with the State and local partners to address Swine Flu in our county, and is issuing the following health alert through the Placer County Health Alert Network (PCHAN).
This alert includes a brief update, current guidance for surveillance and testing, information on treatment and prophylaxis, and various resources for healthcare providers and other partners.
Situation Update: Sixty four (64) human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection, up from twenty cases two days ago, have now been confirmed in the United States in five States, with 11 cases in California including three in Sacramento County . Recent media reports of a confirmed case in Placer County were incorrect, but some suspect cases are being investigated. A number of probable cases in California are pending lab confirmation. Mexico has reported over 1600 related illnesses over the last month, at least 20 of which have been lab confirmed to be the same strain as in the U.S. , and several other countries around the world are now reporting confirmed cases. Yesterday, CDC issued a travel warning recommending that people avoid non-essential travel to Mexico . CDC continues to provide daily updates at www.cdc.gov/swineflu.
Surveillance: Because of the rapidly evolving situation and in an attempt to focus laboratory resources, revised enhanced surveillance guidance is being issued. There will be no charge for swine influenza A testing at this time. You may submit to our public health laboratory specimens from patients with acute febrile respiratory illness ("influenza-like illness") that:
- are hospitalized with influenza-like illness, or
- had onset within 7 days of close contact with a person who is a probable or confirmed case of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection, or
- had onset within 7 days of travel to a community either within the United States or internationally where human cases have been identified, or
- have been in contact with persons with influenza-like illness who had been in these areas in the 7 days prior to their illness onset , or
- reside in a community where there are one or more confirmed swine influenza cases.
Specimen collection: Please collect up to 2 nasopharyngeal (preferably dacron-tipped) swabs from each patient, placing the swabs in a standard container with 2-3 ml of viral transport media. If the patient is hospitalized with pneumonia, specimens from the lower respiratory tract (e.g., tracheal aspirate, bronchoalveolar lavage) should also be obtained. Specimens should be collected within the first 24-72 hours of onset of symptoms and no later than 5 days after onset of symptoms; specimens should be submitted regardless of whether rapid/in-office flu tests have been done. Refrigerate (don't freeze) specimens and submit to Placer County Public Health Laboratory as soon as possible. Specimens may be dropped off at:
Auburn : Placer County Public Health Laboratory, 11475 C Avenue , Auburn (530) 889-7205
Roseville : Placer County Community Clinic, 1130 Conroy Lane, Suite 402 , Roseville (916) 784-6444
Kings Beach : Placer County Community Clinic, 8665 Salmon Avenue , Kings Beach (530) 546-1970
The lab has limited supplies of swab kits available if you are unable to obtain them from your regular lab vendor. Please call the Lab at (530) 889-7205 if assistance is needed with supplies.
Treatment and Prophylaxis: The swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is susceptible to the prescription antiviral drugs oseltamivir and zanamivir. This is a rapidly evolving situation and CDC will provide updated guidance and new information as it becomes available. Information on the use of antivirals is at http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/recommendations.htm. For pregnant women, see: http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/clinician_pregnant.htm. Placer County is currently developing capacity to provide these medications to those unable to obtain them elsewhere; more information will be shared as it becomes available. Please continue to exercise good clinical judgment in the use of antivirals to avoid potential shortages. The use of antivirals for post-exposure prophylaxis will be limited to very specific situations (health care workers exposed during patient care or those at high risk for complications of influenza that are household contacts or close school contacts to a case). There is no evidence that seasonal influenza vaccine provides any protection against this new virus.
Duration of viral shedding: The duration of shedding with swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is unknown. Therefore, until data are available, the estimated duration of viral shedding is based upon seasonal influenza virus infection. Infected persons are assumed to be shedding virus and potentially infectious from the day prior to illness onset until resolution of fever. Infected persons should be assumed to be contagious up to 7 days from illness onset. Some persons who are infected might potentially shed virus and be contagious for longer periods (e.g., young infants, immunosuppressed, and immunocompromised persons).
Other information for clinicians/healthcare workers:
- Patients arriving with a respiratory illness that could be contagious should be separated and managed according to respiratory hygiene guidance posted at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/infectioncontrol/resphygiene.htm. Signage and other tools are also available at this site.
- Information on infection control and healthcare worker protection is at http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/guidelines_infection_control.htm.
- Placer County's Medical Director, Alex Klistoff, MD, is available for clinical consultation if needed at 530.886-7233.
- Please encourage and empower all patients and staff to take a proactive role in protecting their health and preventing the spread of disease by following these basic individual measures:
· Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
· Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
· Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
· If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. You should not seek testing or treatment unless you are ill enough to need medical care.
· Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
Questions should be directed to Placer County Communicable Disease Control at 530.889.7141, or after hours at 530.889.7274.

Subject: Swine Flu Hoax 2009
None of these have ever come true ever. Not once. Now we're being told the swine flu (H1N1) or SVI will not only be an epidemic but an outright pandemic, threatening the entire world. On April 26 a National Emergency was declared for no reason at all and zero fatalities. Saviour Obama has been "fully briefed on the situation." What situation? This is a prelude to martial law folks. Bull crap. Years ago this newsletter told you bird flu was a total hoax. The media was telling you bird flu was going to decimate the world. Nothing happened of course. Swine flu is a hoax; there will be no epidemic.

Breaking: Virus in Two US ‘Mexican’ Swine Flu Victims Appears Closely Related to 2007 Ohio Swine Flu
[Much like a virus, this story is evolving; the information below does not claim to be conclusive, but we thought it would be refreshing to add a note of science and sanity to the generally overheated coverage. --Ed.]
From Prof Tara C Smith at Aetiology
Back in 2007, I wrote about an outbreak of swine influenza from an Ohio county fair. The peer-reviewed paper analyzing the swine influenza isolated from that outbreak has just recently come out. From the abstract:
The swine isolate, A/SW/OH/511445/2007 (OH07), was evaluated in an experimental challenge and transmission study reported here. ....
Meanwhile, I mentioned yesterday that gene sequences from the new H1N1 virus had been released. Sandy has taken a look at some of these, and compared them with H1N1 and H1N2 viruses from humans and pigs.
Yes, there is a point to the juxtaposition of these two points, and it's big--after the jump...
According to her analyses, the Ohio pig isolates are the most closely related to the new Texas and California human isolates.
Does this mean the virus came from these Ohio pigs? *Well, no, not necessarily*. [snip]
I also assume this is where the human-avian-swine reassortant claim came from. The authors note that:
The H1N1 viruses contain the HA and NA from the classical swine virus and the internal genes from the triple reassortant H3N2 viruses (rH1N1); the H1N2 viruses contain the HA from the classical swine virus and the NA and internal genes from the triple reassortant H3N2 viruses (Karasin et al., 2002; Webby et al., 2004). Contemporary triple reassortant viruses were demonstrated to have acquired a PB1 gene of human virus origin; PA and PB2 genes of avian virus origin; and the remaining internal genes, M, NS, and NP, of swine virus origin, thus giving rise to the triple reassortant designation (Zhou et al., 1999).
So what it looks like to me is that this isn't a *new* reassortant virus, but is closely related to one that had already been identified in swine--and that had already caused an outbreak in humans right here in the US.
I'll have more about this tomorrow...this is pretty huge and I'm still digesting it all.
Rep Eric Massa and so many of Lou Dobbs' followers have been falling all over themselves to seal the border with Mexico. . . against a virus most closely related to the 2007 Ohio country fair virus.
For his next trick, will Massa call for Minutemen on the Erie Canal?
2 Swine flu cases in Ohio looks into it jumping from pig into humans in 2007?
Those familiar with the history of influenza probably know about the 1918 outbreak of swine influenza in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In the fall of that year, the National Swine Show and Exposition in Cedar Rapids opened, bringing people and their hogs from miles around. Soon after it opened its doors, people noticed their swine were becoming sick--and the symptoms looked suspisciously like those of human influenza. When the virus was characterized years later, it was indeed found to be the influenza virus--and it was very similar to ones that were isolated from humans.
This characterization of the 1918 pandemic virus (serotype H1N1) as "swine flu" came back to haunt us in 1976, when H1N1 caused the death of a solider at Fort Dix, New Jersey and triggered a mass vaccination campaign here in the U.S. (with its subsequent fallout). Since then, sporadic human cases of swine influenza have been reported, either clincally (such as this one in Iowa earlier this year, or subclinically, as described in this research. Now in Ohio, they're looking to see whether swine flu has again jumped into humans. More after the jump...
There has been two confirmed cases of flu at the Huron County Fair that health officials are investigating to see if it was transmitted from pigs to humans.The influenza A cases were confirmed, through rapid screening, in a fair exhibitor and the exhibitor's father, according to the Huron County General Health District. There has also been reports of flu-like symptoms in pigs at the county fairgrounds.
''At this point, no connection has been medically established between the swine and human cases,'' said Tim Hollinger, administrator of the Huron County General Health District.No testing has been done yet to confirm what is causing the illness in the pigs, he said.
Though vets say that the pigs, if they are suffering from influenza, are past the point of being contagious, the fair officials shut down the swine exhibits as a precaution. Just another reminder of the hazards that can lurk at petting zoos and county fairs.
Swine Flu Vaccination Propaganda from 1976
Here's an interesting collection of videos from the Swine Flu Pandemic Panic of 1976. All outbreaks of new flu strains have the potential to become serious threats... but then so do a lot of things.To watch this video turn down the volume on the blue player to your right.

RICHARD FREEMAN: STRANGE SNAKES AND FREAKY FAUNA FROM CHARLES OWEN’S ‘AN ESSAY TOWARDS A NATURAL HISTORY OF SERPENTS (1742) PART FIVE DRAGONS
I recently brought a copy of Charles Owens’s 1742 book An Essay Towards A Natural History Of Serpents: In Two Parts. The book makes fascinating reading as it was written at a time when science and learning were replacing legend and folklore. The book is full of oddities of cryptozoological interest. This is my fifth and final collection of bits and bobs that I have found within its pages.
STRANGE SNAKES AND FREAKY FAUNA FROM CHARLES OWEN’S ‘AN ESSAY TOWARDS A NATURAL HISTORY OF SERPENTS (1742) PART FIVE DRAGONS We have seen how Charles Owen has got things write and how he has made errors. In his book he takes it as read that several kinds of dragons exist in the world. Here I think he is correct. “There are Marine as well as Land Dragons, of uncommon bigness: some in Ethiopia of 30 paces long, and in Phygia ten paces long.- N.B. A geometrical Pace is five foot; but if it be the lesser pace only viz he measure of two foot and a half, it must be a monstrous animal. In the reign of Philadelphus, two Live Dragons were brought from Ethiopia to Alexandria, one 13 the other 14 Cubits long. In the reign of King Eueregetes, they took three Dragons, one seven Cubits, the other nine Cubits long. The third was carefully nursed in the Temple of Esculpius, and no creature so highly reverenced. On the Pellonaeon Hill in Chius, was a dragon whose hideous Noise filled the Vicinity with Horror and Dread; so terrible, that none durst approach so near as to take its Dimensions. It happened, the wilderness were it lived, took fire in a storm; being involved in smoke and fire, it perished, and upon viewing its Bones, ‘twas concluded to be of monstrous Bulk. The Ethiopian Dragons just mentioned, have no proper Name, and are only known by a Periphasis, viz Killers of Elephants. The Method is, by winding themselves about the elephants legs and thrusting their Heads up their Nostrils, sting hem and suck their blood till they are dead. Alexander, in his Tour of the Red Sea says he saw Serpents of incredible magnitude, some about 30 Cubits long. We read of monstrous Dragons, particularly two Draconic Monsters mentioned by Alexander’s Ambassadors, seen by them on their return from the kingdom of Abisaris, one of 80 Cubits long, the other 140. Among serpents, Authors place Dragons; Creatures terrible and fierce in Aspect and Nature. They are divided into Apodes and Pedates, some with feet and some without them; Some are privileged with Wings, and others are destitute of Wings and feet: some are covered with sharp scales, which make a bright Appearance in some Position. Some have observed that about the Ganges, are Dragons whose Eyes sparkle like precious Stones. Dragons are inhabitants of Africa and Asia; those of India exceed most in Largeness and Longitude: In the Tower of London, is the skin of one, which is of vast bulk. In Ethiopia they have no name for Dragons but Killers of Elephants, which is supposed to be the largest of Land-Animals. Over the Water-gate in the City of Rhodes, there is set up the head of a dragon, which was 33 foot long, that wasted all the Country till it was slain by Deodante de Gozon, one of the Knights of St John Baptist. The Knights of hat Order had frequently attack’d it, but in vain; for its Scales being proof against all their arms, it destroyed so many of them, hat the Grand Master forbad them to engage the Monster any more. Gozon, who after several dangerous Onsets escaped with his life, resolved to make another Trial by Stratagem; perceiving it was no where vulnerable but in the Eyes and Belly, contrived a Resemblance of a Dragon by Machine of Plastboard, of equal bulk with the dragon, and by certain strings made it leap like a true Dragon: having trained a Couple of fierce Dogs to attack it a the belly, he went out privately one morning, well armed on a managed Horse with his Dogs, and rode up to the Den, from whence the Dragon leaped furiously at him: In the Encounter, the Dogs laid hold on his belly, and forced him to lie down; upon which the valiant Knight alighted, thrust his great Sword several times into his Throat and soon killed him: upon which the Spectators drew near, and with great difficulty sever’d the Head from he Body, and lugged it into the own in Triumph. The Conqueror was degraded for the sake of Form, because he had violated the Grand-Master’s Order; but was immediately restored, and soon after was elected Grand-Master himself; he died in the year 1335, and on his Tomb were engraven these words, Draconis Extinctor; The Destroyer of the Dragon. The Pythian Dragon, so called from it being the Guardian of the Delphick Oracle: Its Eyes are large and sharp, and the Body painted with a Variety of Colours, as red, yellow, green and blue, and furnished with scales that are resplendent, well compacted and hard. It has been called Deucalionaeus, because in the Language of Ignorance, it was produced from the Mud left by the Deucalionian Deluge: a Serpent of prodigious Bulk. In Asiatic-Georgia, between the Caspian and Euxine Sea, are found winged Dragons, with aserine Feet and venomous Claws; some of them are fortified with more terrible Pedestals than others: their wings are generally composed of strong, nervous membranes, which when they walk, are scarcely visible, because of their close adherence to their Lateral parts. In the Atlantic Caves, and Mountains of Africa, is an infinite number of these winged Dragons, whose poison is so strong, that the flesh of such as are wounded by hem immediately grows soft, languid, and incurable. We read of flying serpents transported from Parts of Arabia into Egypt. These also have been seen in Florida in America, where their wings are more flaccid, and so weak, that they cannot soar on high. Scaliger describes a certain flying serpent that was four Foot long, and as thick as a man’s arm, whose wings were cartilaginous or gristly. History accounts for one of these flying Dragons that was killed in old Aquitania in France, a Present of which was made to King Francis, as a great Rarity of the Kind. Jerom Cardan informs us of some Winged Dragons he had seen at Paris, so nicely preserved, hat they very much resembled the Living; they were described with two feet, weak wings, a serpentine head and the Bigness of a Rabbit. Among the strange animals of the East –Indies Alexander found in a Cave a monstrous Dragon which he inhabitants counted sacred, and was adored by them, and daily supplied with food: The poor, ignorant, superstitious People, humbly addrest the Conqueror, not to attack the holy place and disturb he Repose of their God. The victorious army hearing its hideous and Dreadful Roarings, were not a little terrify’d, they only saw its monstrous Head, when strech’d out of its Mansion, and its eyes appeared to them as big as a large Macedonian Buckler, a Species of defensive Armour. It is observed by some, that Serpents at this day are highly honour’d in the Kingdom of Calicut, on this side of he Ganges, where the inhabitants call their king Samori, or Zamorin, that is Sovereign Emperor, and God upon Earth. The Dragon being a Serpent of the vigilant Tribe, was constituted and made Guardian of their Houses, of their oracular Temples, and of all their Treasures. At Alba, in a Wood not far from Juno’s Temple, is a Dragon worshipp’d by the inhabitants, and for their great Honour, fed by Virgins, thereby intimating, that innocence was a proper Attendant on he Gods. In Epirus, south of Macedonia, is a certain place sacred to Apollo, and wall’d about, within are kept sacred Dragons, fed likewise by a Virgin Priestess, unclothed, which they believe to be most acceptable to their idol gods; called by Juvenal, one of their own poets, wenching gods. The Epiroticks, who highly venerated Apollo, honour’d his Temple with a consecrated Dragon, which they worshipp’d in solemn remembrance of his killing the Pythonic Serpent. At Pella in Macedonia, the Royal Seat, and Alexander’s Birth-place, were dragons of a large bulk, but of a gentle Nature’ maintain’d at the Expense of the Government, as Creatures bearing a sacred character, and worthy of public Regard. Because may tame serpents were kept in that Place, the fabulous Poets said, Alexander was born of a Serpent. Floyd Anderson Travels to Nashville & Louisville

European, Chinese Satellites Watch Solar Storms Pummel Earth
Scientists have long understood that satellites are at risk from bombardment by solar storms. Now, they’ve gotten a closer look at how the storms are punishing Earth’s magnetosphere, leaving satellites exposed.
The movie above, and the solar flare video below, were released by the European Space Agency today, along with descriptions of two solar eruptions spotted using ESA’s four Cluster satellites and the two Chinese/ESA Double Star satellites.
Scientists have found that extreme solar activity drastically compresses the magnetosphere and modifies the composition of ions in near-Earth space. They are now looking to model how these changes affect weather and other geo-magnetic disturbances as with satellites.
Equation:
Sunspots => Solar Flares => Magnetic Field Shift => Shifting Ocean and Jet Stream Currents => Extreme Weather and Human Disruption (mitch battros)
The results were obtained from coordinated measurements performed by ESA's four Cluster satellites along with the two Chinese/ESA Double Star satellites. "Looking at such a large-scale physical phenomena with a single satellite, is akin to predicting the impact of a tsunami with a single buoy," added Matt Taylor, ESA's Project Scientist for Cluster and Double Star. "With Cluster and Double Star we have monitored both sides of Earth simultaneously, and obtained valuable real-time data."
Such increased solar activity affects ionosphere, upper atmosphere, and Earth's weather. All satellites, including military and civilian GPS systems are at risk. This is why monitoring and forecasting its impact on near-Earth space is becoming increasingly critical to safeguarding daily life on Earth. One way to do this is by studying the physics of near-Earth space and observing the impact of such activity in time.
