    Chicago – A Chicago alderman is taking a hard look at whether mandatory swine flu vaccines for children could stop the spread of the virus.

    Ald. George Cardenas raised the question yesterday.

    Chicago health officials are against mandatory vaccinations, and federal guidelines do not recommend them.

    Meanwhile, free swine flu shots will be available at six city colleges in Chicago.

    The city health director told city council yesterday that 54,000 doses should arrive any day now.

    1. MomOfpoisonedKids Says:

      My doc said the vaccinations will be here next week. I think the only way they can force us, is to declare martial law. We are at the 11th hour. Hug your kids. Say your prayers, here we go.

      InvestigatEverything Reply:

      As I have stated on other posts, my thoughts are that they will not institute Martial Law everywhere. They do not have the resources right now for that. We will have some major alerts in major cities (such as in the movie “Outbreak”). They will order maditory vaccinations in those cities, and from there will institute quarentines. From there they will guage the public reaction. As with anything, they first want to see if they can condition us to accept it.

      If the public outrages against it, then they will either go full scale martial law everywhere, or back off until a later point.

      Either way, watch the news for major death toll announcements in certain cities. When you see that and you live in one of those cities, you can expect that it’s coming. When you see the green army trucks begin to roll into your city, then you know it’s here.

      Careful, Watcher. I kind of like you. I would hate for some dipstick DHS turd to come knocking on your door due to some tortured inference drawn from one of your posts. Prepare in quiet fury. The time will come all on its own.

      Well…yeah…probably coming soon unfortunately. I’m getting sick and tired of this crap. All we can do right now is take defensive positions and protect ourselves by purchasing gold and silver related assets, use vitamin d-3 and new silver solutions (among other natural products) to protect our help, and go on the offensive with our politicians and make sure they know we want them supporting HR 1207, S. 604, and voting against the Monsanto GMO bills, as well as voting against the health care reform bill.

      You bring up a good point. The best policeman in Chicago—Old Man Winter.

      Do you guys recall about this time last year the stories about the military confiscating weapons from National Guard units and armories? I recall a post that quoted the military in one instance telling a Guard unit that, “There’s going to be a party this winter and you are not invited.” I expected it last winter, but perhaps it will be this winter.

      Texasss Reply:

      “Overall, we found detectable mercury in 17 of 55 samples, or around 31%,” write Wallinga and colleagues.

      Here is the list of those products:

      Quaker Oatmeal to Go bars
      Jack Daniel’s Barbecue Sauce
      Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup
      Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce
      Nutri-Grain Strawberry Cereal Bars
      Manwich Gold Sloppy Joe
      Market Pantry Grape Jelly
      Smucker’s Strawberry Jelly
      Pop-Tarts Frosted Blueberry
      Hunt’s Tomato Ketchup
      Wish-Bone Western Sweet & Smooth Dressing
      Coca-Cola Classic: no mercury found on a second test
      Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt
      Minute Maid Berry Punch
      Yoo-hoo Chocolate Drink
      Nesquik Chocolate Milk
      Kemps Fat Free Chocolate Milk
      Wallinga and colleagues caution that their list was “just a snapshot in time; we only tested one sample of each product. That clearly is not sufficient grounds to give definitive advice to consumers.”

      Mercury exposure at high levels can harm the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, and immune system. A form of mercury called methylmercury is particularly risky to a baby’s developing brain and nervous system, according to background information from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

      Texasss Reply:

      Wallinga’s report doesn’t prove that the mercury in the tested products came from high-fructose corn syrup, but “I’m hard pressed to say where else it would come from,” Wallinga tells WebMD.

      Wallinga explains that mercury can be used to make caustic soda, which is one of the products used to make high-fructose corn syrup. That’s outdated technology; mercury isn’t needed to make caustic soda, notes Audrae Erickson, president of the Corn Refiners Association, in a statement emailed to WebMD.

      Toecutter Reply:

      It’s in the frozen-U-bake breads to. Baking bread is pretty easy but it takes some time and attention. So in the list of stuff you need in your supplies also add flour, yeast, baking soda or use self rising flour for biscuits.

      roaddog6 Reply:

      and I found it in other products that aren’t listed here too.

      Vaccines are to the NWO scum like opium crops are to the Taliban. They poison, drug and distract the masses while at the same time funding “war” efforts and bank accounts. Every vaccine dose administered in this country (as the pharmas are owned by the NWO financial interests) puts money in the NWO’s pockets and poisons us at the same time. It’s a win/win for the “elite”.

How many of you know anyone who has actually gotten the swine flu?? I know ONE person who got it, and she got over it just like the regular flu. I try to tell my friends and family the truth about the swine flu and vaccinations and they think I’M the one whos crazy. Most people are too dumbed down to see this for what it really is. A lie, a SCHEME, so they can inject us with god knows what. Its like living in the fucking twilight zone. I can’t discuss this with anyone anymore because i just end up trying not to smack them upside the head.

      I think I may have had it a while ago. It was no big deal really. I felt crappy for a few days, then fine. PS don’t lose all hope just yet. I know people that think it’s complete bs, that don’t even pay attention really, they just feel something is ‘not right’ with the media hyping it.

    23. Annu Says:

      My biology teacher is even saying the vaccine is a bad idea.
      We were looking over an article that was written a longer while back and there are mentionings of the H1N1 virus and how it was the Spanish Flu. They have everyone in this uproar, but the fact is, it only strikes back for a short period of time every 20 to 30 years or so.
      The fact that there’s a vaccine now is simply a money scandal.
      Scare the public, (people everywhere think this virus is brand new, which it is not) scare the public (We are often told that an individual has dies of H1N1 when really, there were extreme underlying medical problems. Example of such, here, witnessed first hand. They said a woman here died of H1N1, said she was a healthy mother. Complete lie, she was 500 pounds and suffered from severe diabetes.) Introduce the solution (The vaccine that was thrown together in a matter of months or less that has been proven to do more possible damage than it deflects) And make that lovely solution expensive (Insurance or not; people are paying)
      So you see, it’s the perfect plan.
      You are habing people pushed over the edge to death (by the virus, in certain cases such as underlying disease) and death and infection caused by the vaccination. Whoever the vaccine doesn’t kill gets a dewcent dose of GMO ingredients and Mercury additives and finally (The Best Part!) Sit back and collect the money from the mayhem.

    24. Thomas Scott Says:

      My sister, age 57 got it a month ago and she’s fine. My neighbor, age 7, took the regular flu shot two Tuesday’s ago and got the H1N1 virus the next Friday. As of today, she is doing fine. I agree, they just want the money.

      Maria Lopes Reply:

      Hey Thomas, can you tell me if they took tamiflu to face it? Do you happen to know how many people are receiving antiviral treatment in order to deal with the flu? I´ve heard it helps a lot, thanks, warm regards from Brazil….

    37. Draconian Prince Says:

      In truth, no matter how much I read, this whole H1N1 hysteria really dosn’t make sense to me. Thus far it seems to be no more potent than the regular flu yet people are acting like this is some kind of super acting ebola like flu that’s going to steal your womyns and childrens and stuff. I keep hearing the mantra ’safe’ ’safe’ ’safe’. Well, ‘Safe’ from what? A flu? You’d think people had never got the flu before. People say, ‘Oh! The young and ‘healthy’ are its victims! It’s it’s like the Spanish Flu!’. Are our young really all that healthy? And did everyone forget that the conditions that most people were living in during that era were ripe for desaster?
      Staying healthy is an art. Mind Body and Soul need to be in balance. Your world needs to also be healthy. If your water is poisoned, your food and air, if the eco-systems are collapsing…you can’t expect that you will remain uneffected.
      People say, well God put us hear to do whatever we please. Jesus is coming back to make everything better.
      According to the scriptures, when God made all things, God said it was Good. All of Nature sings out Praise to God. Do you really want to be just wrecklessly trashing what is God’s? The Book of Proverbs itself and the rest of the Bible calls for Knowledge, Wisdom, Reverence, those sorts of things in God’s Children. Jesus himself makes it clear that we are held accountible for every little thing.
      The importance of the health of the Mind, Body, Soul and World are obvious in the Torah. If God said we could do whatever we please to the world…there wouldn’t be such things as Sabbaths for the land (that the LAND may REST).
      As for the vaccines, you’d think they would have come up with something better now. Personally I think it’s the biggest fraud of today but that’s just my opinion.

    38. McPist Says:

      Again, for anyone that missed it, the PANDEMIC is being CAUSED by the fact that H1N1 is IN THE FLUZONE vaccine [regular flu shot] that’s been given out for the last 2 months. These poor people are out spreading it ‘all over the place,’ without knowing their bodies are being used as incubators.
      One thing is certain: the dumbing down portion of their agenda has not been without its successes. Most people deny that anything out of the ordinary is happening at all while they are being brainwashed into thinking they’d better hurry out and track down thee H1N1 vaccine for themselves and their children. After all, they say, “I saw it on FOX. There might not be enough to go around!”

    39. Fanjo Player Says:

      So when is the alderman going to get HIS vaccine?

    40. Vaccines Kill Says:

      Are we really talking about an ignorant Chicago alderman who like other politicians don’t have a clue this infowar is going to be an uphill fight. Chicago is also a gun control city There will be no mandatory vaccines in Chicago There is not enough troops to enforce all these big cities only 10 percent of the people need to be awake

    41. Billy Says:

So definitelly they want to inject people all over the world but it seems to be impossible because people are not so dumb as the government and church want us to be. So the big question is what kind of stunt NWO will pull next?

      Further deaths linked to swine flu vaccine

      Health investigators are under more pressure as two elderly women are reported to have died, days after receiving the swine flu vaccine. It brings the total number of deaths linked to the vaccine in Sweden to four.

      •Swine flu cases at record high (23 Oct 09)
      •Swine flu vaccinations underway in Sweden (12 Oct 09)
      •Fewer Swedes want swine flu vaccine (9 Oct 09)
      The two latest deaths were reported to the Swedish Medical Products Agency (Läkemedelsverket) on Friday.

      A 74-year-old woman from Sollefteå in northern Sweden died four days after receiving the swine flu vaccine.

      The woman, who suffered from heart and lung disease, was classified as a high-risk patient.

      “Naturally a report will be undertaken,” said Dr. Markus Kallionen in a press statement released by Västernorrland County Council.

      “We must take this case seriously and investigate what has happened.”

      A further case of a 90-year-old woman who also died after receiving the vaccine has been reported by newspaper Expressen.

      Läkemedelsverket are currently investigating circumstances surrounding the deaths of two high-risk patients, a 50-year-old man with a serious heart condition and woman with an acute muscle disease.

      “It’s important to say that they had complicated illnesses,“ Gunilla Sjölin Forslund from Läkemedelsverket told news agency TT.

      “We still do not know if the deaths are connected to the vaccine.”

      Sweden launched a mass vaccination programme in a bid to control the flu pandemic on October 12th.

      Cases of swine flu reached record levels last week with 198 new cases in comparison to 93 the previous week.
