    Australia plans army terror role

    australia will have the same freedom of military dictatorship that we're going to get, and that the UK is going to get! good for them! of course, only after the unfortunate 'terrorist' attack...governments always benefit after those, moreso than the 'terrorists'...which is the government to begin with.

    Australia plans army terror role

    Phil Mercer / BBC | November 7 2005

    The Australian government is planning to bring in new laws to allow for the rapid deployment of troops to support police against any terrorist attack.

    The changes could be in place ahead of the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne next March.

    The move comes days after Prime Minister John Howard introduced tough new anti-terror laws into parliament.

    Critics have insisted these new laws have more to do with politics than national security.

    The Australian government believes the military can provide valuable muscle in the fight against terrorism.

    The plan to deploy troops in an emergency will be considered by senior ministers in the coming weeks.

    Opposition objections

    The proposals have caused unease among some opposition politicians.

    They have insisted the new laws are unnecessary, because the armed forces already have the capacity to intervene in a crisis.

    The defence department, however, said current measures were limited and impractical.

    Green party Senator Kerry Nettle said the move to give the army greater powers was a cynical ploy by the government to divert attention away from its controversial industrial relations legislation.

    The Australian Prime Minister John Howard has dismissed the accusation as "ridiculous."

    wow, we're all going to be free as China now too!

    China mobilises military to fight bird flu

    AFP | November 7 2005

    China has mobilised its armed forces and allocated emergency funds and vaccines to fight bird flu as a mass cull of poultry and birds continued following a new outbreak in the country's northeast.

    The cull was being carried out in Heishan county of Liaoning province, where the outbreak, confirmed on Thursday as the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu, has killed nearly 9,000 chickens in six villages.

    Other cities and provinces were meanwhile stepping up precautions. The central province of Hunan was banning the mixed raising of animals. Beijing was ordering all animals, including pets, to be vaccinated.

    The outbreak in Liaoning is China's fourth in just over two weeks, with migratory birds the most likely culprits, the agriculture ministry said.

    "All the poultry in the region must be slaughtered by zero hour (midnight) on Sunday," Xinhua news agency said, quoting local officials.

    The People's Armed Police, a unit of China's People's Liberation Army, has been dispatched to Heishan county to help experts carry out the slaughter.

    Covered head to toe in hooded army outfits and latex gloves, the soldiers were shown in newspapers grabbing chickens by the neck one at a time from rows of cages in the farms and stuffing them into bags.

    As of Sunday morning more than one million poultry have been slaughtered, the China News Service quoted officials as saying.

    "More than 3,000 people are carrying out the cull," a local official told AFP. "The next step is to bury the slaughtered poultry."

    As with standard practice, the cull targeted all birds within a radius of three kilometers (two miles) of the farms where the outbreak occurred.

    Soldiers also sealed off the affected areas while disinfecting pedestrians and vehicles leaving the premises.

    More than 30 roadside checkpoints have been set up and some 50 tons of disinfectants were used, the Liaoning Daily said Sunday.

    The Ministry of Agriculture has sent an emergency batch of 60 million vaccines to treat healthy poultry near the affected area to ensure the industry will not be destroyed, the China News Service said.

    The ministry said Friday 13.9 million birds in the affected region had been vaccinated.

    The Liaoning provincial government has meanwhile allocated 85 million yuan (10.5 million dollars) to compensate farmers and to prevent and control the disease, the China News Service reported.

    "Leaders in the province have vowed to firmly stamp out the epidemic, prevent it from spreading, prevent human infections...," it quoted Zhou Liyuan, the official at the provincial bird flu headquarters, as saying.

    Officials will also "launch a province-wide surveillance, not missing one village, one family or one poultry, and vaccinating 100 percent of the poultry, not counting on sheer luck, not leaving any shortcomings and not leaving any hidden dangers," Zhou said.

    The local government has also sent 100 medical workers to the villages to offer free medical checks and vaccinations for farmers.

    In Heilongjiang province near Liaoning officials ordered all outbreaks to be reported within two hours. In Jilin province, which borders Liaoning, checkpoints were set up on freeways connecting it with Liaoning.

    Hunan province was meanwhile banning farmers from mixing animals in farms or herding animals in the wilderness.

    Authorities in Beijing threatened to fine or jail anyone who refuses to comply with vaccination orders for pets and other animals.

    China has reported three other outbreaks of bird flu since October 19 -- the first in the Inner Mongolia region in the north of the country, and the other two in Anhui and Hunan in the centre.

    what ever would we do without a loving world government to keep us safe from the inevitable bird flu...it's going to get all of us! unless we accept forced vaccinations and martial law and total government tyranny...then we'll be aaaalright.

    we need to give kids dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of vaccines to keep them safe...the mercury is actually nutritious for you.

    Pandemic "only a matter of time": WHO chief

    Today Online | November 7 2005

    World Health Organisation (WHO) chief Lee Jong-wook gestures during a global bird flu conference in Geneva. Lee said an influenza pandemic "is only a matter of time" as he opened a three-day council of war on H5N1 avian flu.

    An influenza pandemic "is only a matter of time," the head of the World Health Organisation, Lee Jong-Wook, warned as he opened a three-day council of war on H5N1 avian flu.
    .
    "We don't know when this will happen, but we know it will happen," Lee, the WHO's director-general, said. "(...) If we are unprepared the next pandemic will cause incalculable human misery... no society will be exempt and no economy will be unscathed."
    .
    The talks, gathering 400 experts and decision-makers from around the world, will be briefed on the latest data about avian influenza and review measures to bolster animal surveillance and preparations for tackling any human pandemic.
    .
    It is the seniormost global meeting of doctors, veterinarians and public-health officials since the avian influenza scare erupted in 2003.
    .
    In addition, it is the first to gather the World Bank alongside the WHO, Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).
    .
    The conference takes place against a backdrop of growing concern about the failure to roll back the H5N1 bird flu virus in Asia, its spread to Europe and the vulnerability of Africa, the world's poorest continent.
    .
    "We have experienced a relentless spread of avian flu," driven principally by migratory birds, Lee said sombrely.
    .
    Lee said that 63 deaths, out of 124 known cases of human infection, had been reported to the WHO, 150 million fowl had been slaughtered and the economic cost of the virus was some 10 billion dollars.
    .
    At present, the H5N1 virus is transmissible from bird to humans, but cannot be easily passed from humans to humans.
    .
    The worry, as Lee said, is that the virus will mutate, picking up genes that make it highly contagious from humans to humans.
    .
    That could initiate a pandemic that in modern era of jet travel and the globalised economy claim millions of lives and inflict economic costs in the hundreds of billions of dollars. ā?? AFP

    i still can't help but feel sorrow for people like him...history repeats, yet no one learns from it...

    let's cheer on the dictatorship as our country's sovereignty and constitution is flushed down toilet! even when the neo-con socialists and 'liberal' socialists for that matter are paying global taxes and need permits and licenses to walk outside and are taxed for the aire they breathe they still will be clueless to what freedom is...the freedom envisioned by the founders who fought and died for it...and we're here flushing it down the toilet because we think it will keep us safe...it will never keep us safe.

    then again, when has any government in history lied through mass media and killed its own people, or when was there ever an empire? none that i can think of...

    sorrow they can't use, they don't understand it, and would never offer it to another, i know it's tough but we have to let them drown in their own shit, they will not take the hand stretched out to them.

    we can only stand and speak our truth softly, and know that it is true.
