Top flu expert warns of a swine flu-bird flu mix
Fri May 8, 7:12 am ET
MEXICO CITY – Bird flu kills more than 60 percent of its human victims, but doesn't easily pass from person to person. Swine flu can be spread with a sneeze or handshake, but kills only a small fraction of the people it infects.
So what happens if they mix?
This is the scenario that has some scientists worried: The two viruses meet — possibly in Asia, where bird flu is endemic — and combine into a new bug that is both highly contagious and lethal and can spread around the world.
Scientists are unsure how likely this possibility is, but note that the new swine flu strain — a never-before-seen mixture of pig, human and bird viruses — has shown itself to be especially adept at snatching evolutionarily advantageous genetic material from other flu viruses.
"This particular virus seems to have this unique ability to pick up other genes," said leading virologist Dr. Robert Webster, whose team discovered an ancestor of the current flu virus at a North Carolina pig farm in 1998.
The current swine flu strain — known as H1N1 — has sickened more than 2,300 people in 24 countries. While people can catch bird flu from birds, the bird flu virus — H5N1 — does not easily jump from person to person. It has killed at least 258 people worldwide since it began to ravage poultry stocks in Asia in late 2003.
The World Health Organization reported two new human cases of bird flu on Wednesday. One patient is recovering in Egypt, while another died in Vietnam — a reminder that the H5N1 virus is far from gone.
"Do not drop the ball in monitoring H5N1," WHO Director-General Margaret Chan told a meeting of Asia's top health officials in Bangkok on Friday by video link. "We have no idea how H5N1 will behave under the pressure of a pandemic."
Experts have long feared that bird flu could mutate into a form that spreads easily among people. The past three flu pandemics — the 1918 Spanish flu, the 1957-58 Asian flu and the Hong Kong flu of 1968-69 — were all linked to birds, though some scientists believe pigs also played a role in 1918.

Pray for Chaos; It is Our Only Hope
Coincidence?
Remember that some, if not all, of the same “scientifically minded” people who would predictably ridicule a possible human to earth spiritual connection are in fact, commonly found ceremoniously praying each week within a temple, church, or synagogue.
Of these worshipers especially here in the West, a majority are (humorously) found on their knees blowing a false god, believing that after declaring himself the son of perfection, a simple carpenter rose from the dead, flew up into the sky with a league of special anthropomorphized angels, only to return one day in order to rapture us all into the glory of heaven.
Amen?
I call it non-sense to be taken literally, and hypocrisy.
At least here we can see the result of our experiment within a reasonable amount of time and question a relationship within our work, if any. The result, any result, represents a great leap from our daily boredom, blasting apart the ubiquitous rose colored lens of fluff within today's Prozac sponsored major sources of media.
Calamity is fun and hilarious when you seriously think about it. The truth of our morbid fascination with nature should not be ignored in this way. Take yourself back to the coliseums of Rome in which gladiators happily ripped the bloody screaming heads off of their pathetic opponents and you will see nature. It is natural to die and suffer immeasurably. Above all, it is natural to experience terror, not hide from it in fear.
It is unethical to support the weak throughout our dying world in time, activity, and thought. For example, a “too big to fail” concept in which trillions of tax payer dollars are wasted upon the weak will in the long run diminish the necessary strength that sustains our over-all world economy.
Chaos is our future and to accept this presents an opportunity to be free.
Chaos represents true change. It is our future and is the way, L.A.M., or “path”.
The child of Chaos is Order, a WORLD ORDER of STRENGTH that will not be denied by the meek, feeble minded charlatan, nor the paranoid and deluded simpletons whom are now subject to the apostasy. Think what you like about this, it is coming for each like a tornado, unstoppable, beautiful, deadly, and eternal.

"Prophetic: General Motors scales back in order to avoid possible bankruptcy in 2009. Chrysler considering off shore sale. Three becomes one after [X]. Ford shares of stock fall to a record low."
-A.C.H. in his posting 'In Todays News' on Dec.18, 2008
'Three becomes one after [X].'
And from the news today:
ROME – Fiat Group SpA confirmed Sunday it was in talks to acquire General Motor's European operations with the aim of possibly creating a new company to also include its newly acquired Chrysler automaker.
Combined, the new automaker would have euro80 billion ($105 billion) in annual revenues, Fiat said in a statement.
Fiat said it was evaluating the possible spinoff of its auto business to form the core of the new company. Fiat Group Automobiles includes the Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Ferrari brands.
The statement was issued on the eve of a meeting in Berlin between Fiat Group CEO Sergio Marchionne and the German economy and foreign ministers to discuss Fiat's offer for GM's German unit, Opel.
GM Europe also includes the British company Vauxhall and the Swedish carmaker Saab.
GM has been trying to find investors for its noncore and unprofitable assets as part of a restructuring in which it has sought billions of dollars in aid from the U.S. government to avert collapse.

ABOUT Haunted Voices - Haunted Voices [HVRN], a fully licensed network (both performance and commercial music), is much more than your average webcast/podcast type of paranormal network.

Five of these streams are Satellite based as they pull off of the HVRN streams and rebroadcast on their stations all over the world. HVRN is also syndicated on the Air Force Band which goes straight over to our troops located in both Iraq and Afghanistan thanks to the thousands of letters demanding they put this programming on their band. Todd Bates the owner and Host of HVRN has been broadcasting for over 5 years now on his own and Co-Hosted with several hosts on the IBC and BBC radio networks prior.
ABOUT Aaron C. Hanson - Aaron is the psychic and remote viewer who was featured on the In Search Of TV Documentary remake in the episode on Psychic Spies . Aaron demonstrated that he could precisely locate a person at a remote location using only his remote viewing skills. He has been featured on such television shows as “SOS” of TV Asahi in Japan, mainstream radio broadcasts such as Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell, George Noory, and others. He was filmed in a major motion picture “Suspect Zero” where he also served as technical assistant. Since then he has done multiple internet radio broadcasts, and keeps a popular blog on his Myspace page www.myspace.com/hearananda where he occasionally reveals winning lottery numbers for specific areas of the world. His latest lottery success was posted on November 5th, 2008 for the state of Illinois marking his first in a series of postings leading up to a series of books and lectures on acquiring numbers. Aaron predicted 666 as this number and in fact, that was the winning number! Don’t forget to sign up for information about his upcoming book starting January 1, 2009 at his website http://www.thepropheticlight.com.
Aaron has a long history of paranormal experience and his latest research using modified electronic camera sensors utilizing right angled mirrors and other proprietary devices is being developed to further capture the spiritual essence or that beyond what is experienced by normal states of awareness. Aaron’s spiritual projection imagery is in a class outside of anything known today. Many of his images reveal the dead either in passing and/ or from another realm that has yet to be fully understood.
If it involves relevance, mystery, and fantastic controversy, Aaron has the “it” and is as always deep within it all. This fascinating man has been described by many as a strange genius, wildly eccentric, inexhaustibly soulful, and enigmatic.
