THE SPREAD of the pneumonic disease in Ukraine is our top story. As of today, media in the U.K. are reporting over a million infected, and Dr. Henry Niman reports over 300 dead, with possibly related deaths in neighboring Belarus and Poland.

Here’s the link to the website of Ukraine’s Ministry of Health.

Also: KSM on trial in the US; Obama bows to emperor of Japan; and mini-reviews of the reimagined series V and The Prisoner, which we interpret as allegories of events of spiritual significance — namely, the collaboration of natural and supernatural forces to dehumanize the world’s population and produce a one-world government.

As of today, over a million have contracted the flu, nearly 53,000 are hospitalized, and 174 have died.]]> Major Nidal Malik Hasan

THE SHOOTINGS at Fort Hood on November 5 dominate the news today, and rightly so. We discuss Major Nidal Malik Hasan and his connection to a couple of the 9/11 hijackers through a radical imam in Falls Church, Virginia. See the website of the Northeast Intelligence Network for information you won’t get from the major media.

We also discussed an odd detail connected to the shootings in Orlando the day after the terror event at Fort Hood. Jason Rodriguez allegedly killed one and wounded six during his rampage at 1000 Legion Place; his license plate is D119UX — 911 reversed, bracketed by dux, the Latin word for a Roman general in command of two or more legions. Coincidence?

What is reported as an H1N1 outbreak in Ukraine continues to spread rapidly. As of today, over a million have contracted the flu, nearly 53,000 are hospitalized, and 174 have died. (Here is the link to the Google translation of the original report from the Ukraine Ministry of Health.)

Also: US House passes health care “reform” — buy insurance or go to jail; drills for pneumonic plague outbreaks; and the three hikers charged with espionage by Iran are not average American kids on holiday; they’re Arabic speakers in their late 20s and early 30s who live in the Middle East, and who, at the very least, should have known better than to go anywhere near the Iranian border.

NO MATTER what they call it — “public option”, “consumer option”, socialism, fascism — the end will be the same: more control in fewer hands. It’s been coming for two thousand years, but we know who wins in the end.

DRAWING ON her experience as a molecular biologist, Sharon highlights some interesting connections in tonight’s show: it appears that DynCorp, a longtime military contractor and suspected CIA cutout, has its fingers in a company that just announced a successful H1N1 vaccine — and saw its stock price jump 21% today.

Also: President Obama’s birthday cake; Bill Maher gets Derek’s blood up; Congress orders three new executive jets for itself; Rupert Murdoch plans to charge for his news sites; and ailing insurance giant AIG — now mostly owned by American taxpayers — sees its stock jump 66% today. (What’s up with that?)

Here’s the link to the article at Sharon’s website about Novavax, DynCorp, and the H1N1 vaccine. Be sure to follow the links at the end of the article for more on DynCorp’s checkered past.

Also: military poised to help FEMA deal with swine flu; CIA code expert found dead on hiking trail; New York City gives homeless one-way ticket out of town; and the state of Arizona considers selling its capitol buildings.

Here’s the link to the timeline of aspartame’s approval we mentioned during the show. Dr. Arthur Hayes, Jr., the FDA commissioner who approved aspartame (NutraSweet), later took a job with Burson-Marsteller as a senior medical adviser. Burson-Marsteller was the public relations firm for G.D. Searle, the company that developed aspartame. Coincidence?

NANCY PELOSI continues to try to dodge the verbal slings and arrows of those who supported her because she was against torture, only to learn that she was for it — or at least not against it — before she was against it. Or something.

The question we pose tonight to our Christian brothers and sisters is this: when is torture (or Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, or Non-Verbal Questioning) OK? If we truly believe that God is our refuge and our strong tower, how does waterboarding fit into our worldview? Have we thought it through, or are we just dodging that uncomfortable question?

Originally broadcast May 8, 2005

With the sudden eruption of a new strain H1N1 (swine flu) over the last week, it seemed worth digging into the archives for an interview with one of our earliest guests. Molecular virologist Dr. Henry L. Niman is the founder and president of Recombinomics, Inc., and he tracks emerging diseases around the globe.

In May of 2005, Dr. Niman described for us the chain of events in an unusual story from South Korea, where a strain of flu virus created in a lab 65 years ago had turned up in sick and dying pigs. The World Health Organization responded with press releases denying that there was a problem.

WSN/33, a variant of H1N1, is a danger to humans. We can catch viruses from pigs, and this particular virus is one that we have no immunity against. Yet, at the time of the interview, the World Health Organization had only two scientists assigned to work full time tracking emerging diseases like this.

If Dr. Niman hadn’t stumbled onto the genetic sequence of the WSN/33 virus in a public database while doing research for a scientific paper, we might still be in the dark about that potential threat to human health.

In May of 2005, Dr. Niman described for us the chain of events in an unusual story from South Korea, where a strain of flu virus created in a lab 65 years ago had turned up in sick and dying pigs. The World Health Organization responded with press releases denying that there was a problem. WSN/33, a variant of H1N1, is a danger to humans. We can catch viruses from pigs, and this particular virus is one that we have no immunity against. Yet, at the time of the interview, the World Health Organization had only two scientists assigned to work full time tracking emerging diseases like this. If Dr. Niman hadn’t stumbled onto the genetic sequence of the WSN/33 virus in a public database while doing research for a scientific paper, we might still be in the dark about that potential threat to human health.
