Bird Flu? Just Another Western Conspiracy, Says an Adviser
to the Iranian President
From
Andrew Sullivan:
"Ramin also claimed that the spread of bird flu was a conspiracy plot
cause[d] by the failure of America, Israel and Britain in the Middle East.
Ramin pointed out that to cover up and hide their failures, these countries
have spread the news about the bird flu to preoccupy and distract public
opinion for some 5 to 6 months. 'Nobody asks how a bird that had the flu
could fly from Australia to Siberia,' he said, adding that even the Iranian
minister of health had claimed to have stopped the disease at Iran's
borders. He claimed the holocaust story and bird flu rumors are
interrelated. He attributed the killing of millions of chicken was to
control the price and amount [of] chicken in the market."

"We see some
international conspiracy in the entire episode,” say poultry farmers in
India. Egg and chicken sales have plummeted, and 16 poultry farmers have
reportedly committed suicide.

Gilead
Sciences – Well Connected
US Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s holding of shares in Tamiflu developer Gilead
Sciences has moved from the conspiracy websites to the mainstream, with a
report by CNN. It notes that other “political heavyweights” also hold
significant equity holdings in Gilead.
"I don't know of any
biotech company that's so politically well-connected," says analyst Andrew
McDonald of Think Equity Partners in San Francisco.
What's more, the
federal government is emerging as one of the world's biggest customers for
Tamiflu. In July, the Pentagon ordered $58 million worth of the treatment
for U.S. troops around the world, and Congress is considering a
multi-billion dollar purchase.

Is avian
flu another Pentagon hoax?
asks a writer at the website of the Montreal-based Centre for Research
on Globalisation, pointing to allegations that Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld is a major shareholder in Gilead Sciences, which developed the drug
Tamiflu.
Against
all scientific prudence and normal public health procedure, the world
population is being whipped up into a fear frenzy by irresponsible public
health officials from the US Administration to WHO to the United States
Centers for Disease Control. They all warn about the imminent danger that a
malicious viral strain might spread from infected birds, primarily in
Vietnam and other Asian centers, to contaminate the entire human species in
pandemic proportions….The
Secretary of Defense, the man who allegedly supported the use of contrived
intelligence to justify the war on Iraq, is now poised to reap huge gains
for a flu panic his Administration has done everything it can to promote….
It would be useful to know whether the Pentagon’s successor to Douglas
Feith’s Office of Special Plans developed the strategy of biowarfare behind
the current Avian Flu panic. Perhaps some enterprising Congressional
committee might look into the entire subject of plausible conflicts of
interest regarding Secretary Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld stands to make a fortune on
royalties as a panicked world population scrambles to buy a drug worthless
in curing effects of alleged Avian Flu.

The Bird
Flu Conspiracy
Quick - who
used to be chairman of Gilead Sciences, the company that invented the bird
flu drug Tamiflu?
Give up?
The answer:
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, of course.
It’s enough
to get you thinking there’s some kind of conspiracy happening, and
inevitably that’s what some people have been thinking....continue
