Obama's H1N1 national emergency declaration could invoke FEMA response to pandemic

Mike Adams

President Obama’s declaration of a national pandemic emergency is “no cause for alarm,” reported the mainstream media throughout the weekend. The declaration is nothing more than a “precaution,” they say. “It’s really more a continuation of our preparedness steps,” said Anne Schuchat, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, in a USA Today story.

In other words, there’s not really any emergency at all. So why declare a national emergency in the first place? The media reports this was done to allow hospitals to bypass federal regulations concerning the setting up of large-scale triage sites — emergency medical camps quickly constructed to deal with large numbers of sick people.

But at the same time, H1N1 isn’t causing large-scale sickness. As USA Today reported, an expert on infectious disease, P.J. Brennan (the chief medical officer for the Penn Health System at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia) said, “The public ought to take some solace, some relief in this. It’s not a suggestion that things have deteriorated in any way. In no way is the virus more severe or more difficult to manage.”

So let me get this straight. The H1N1 virus remains mild. The CDC reports that swine flu infections already peaked out in mid-October. There have been no new developments in swine flu that would be cause for alarm and no reason to suspect huge numbers of sick people flooding into the hospitals. And yet, for some reason, the Obama administration has declared a national pandemic emergency specifically for the purpose of speeding the ability of hospitals to process large masses of sick people through emergency medical triage tents?

What are these people not telling us?

Something doesn’t add up here. Why would the U.S. government need to declare a national emergency to enable hospitals to handle a flood of sick people when there is no flood of sick people (and the pandemic seems to be fizzling out)?

This is more like the kind of preparation you might expect in advance of a biological terrorism attack, not for a flu that appears no more dangerous than the seasonal sniffles.

The National Emergencies Act and FEMA

Meanwhile, the media ignores the rest of the story about what dangerous powers a declaration of a national emergency puts into play. As reported here on NaturalNews, this declaration effectively ends many civil liberties in America and, at least on paper, puts the U.S. government in the position of having the legal authority to force vaccinations on the entire population at gunpoint (if they wanted to).

The National Emergencies Act passed in 1976 has some peculiar realities attached to it. In particular, as Wikipedia reports:

A federal emergency declaration allows the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to exercise its power to deal with emergency situations … Typically, a state of emergency empowers the executive to name coordinating officials to deal with the emergency and to override normal administrative processes regarding the passage of administrative rules.

Got that yet? By declaring a national emergency, Obama invokes a set of laws that not only override important sections of the U.S. Constitution, but that also activate FEMA to take charge of “responding” to the emergency.

Now we know why they need all those emergency medical tent camps near the hospitals. FEMA’s in charge! And if FEMA handles the swine flu pandemic in the same way the agency handled the Hurricane Katrina disaster, we may indeed need all those emergency triage tents after all.

Those of you who have been following the ongoing march to destroy the freedoms of the American People already know about FEMA camps. These aren’t Boy Scout field trip camps; they’re detention centers designed to hold large numbers of people for “emergency” purposes. Many theories abound on what these FEMA camps might be used for (www.campFEMA.com) (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index….).

They could conceivably be used to quarantine people who are infected with a dangerous pandemic virus. On the other hand, they might also be used to isolated and detain people who refuse to be vaccinated against any declared pandemic. Under the National Emergencies Act and related U.S. law, FEMA would have two years of near-total control over the civilian population, during which people could be subjected to forced vaccinations, mandatory searches of their homes, gunpoint detainment and “involuntary transportation” to a FEMA detainment facility, and so on.

I’m not saying they’re going to do all this, but they could if they wanted to!

And that’s not freedom. Real freedom means you have the guaranteed right to be safe from being detained, or arrested without cause, or injected with a government-mandated chemical. Under a declaration of a national emergency, your “freedom” is at the whim of those who maintain police state powers over you. You’re only “free” if they decide to refrain from exercising the power they have over you. It’s the same kind of freedom you might get as a peasant in some Medieval kingdom where the king says, “You’re free to go.”

Now, some of these freedom-restricting actions might conceivably be justifiable if a truly dangerous pandemic virus were sweeping through the population killing millions, causing huge disruptions in the national infrastructure and threatening the nation with a partial or total shutdown of essential services. But that is not happening here. H1N1 is a mild virus that rates astonishingly low on the severity scale. If H1N1 were a hurricane, it would be little more than a “tropical depression.” It is not a category five hurricane, nor a phase six pandemic. Virtually everyone who is exposed to H1N1 generates their own antibodies and cures themselves naturally. According to hospital reports, those who have died from the H1N1 virus are almost exclusively people who were already suffering from preexisting conditions that compromised their health such as asthma or extreme obesity.

By any measure, H1N1 as currently configured appears to present no extraordinary threat to the health of the population. So once again, we must ask: Why declare a national emergency and initiate a FEMA response to something that’s not really an emergency?

Why I’m concerned

For the first time in this whole pandemic situation, I’m concerned. Not due to the virus itself, because that’s a mild virus that presents no real threat to the population at large. I’m concerned about what we don’t know might be going on behind the scenes here.

These preparations for large-scale medical triage tents and the emergency activation of FEMA have me worried that the American people aren’t being told the whole story. Perhaps a terrorist organization is planning on releasing a wildly dangerous mutation of H1N1 in some major U.S. city. Or perhaps some vaccine maker is, in fact, that terrorist organization. (The best way to sell more vaccines would be to release a mutated form of H1N1 into the population and scare up some more sales…)

Or maybe, as some creative thinkers have suggested, the vaccine itself IS a bioweapon, and the U.S. government is preparation for large-scale fatalities it expects to see soon.

Or maybe these are just fleeting, dark visions from crazy people, and the U.S. government is a benevolent organization with all our best interests in mind, and they’re jumping through these bureaucratic hoops to make sure there are plenty of hospital beds to go ’round just in case more people get really sick.

But even that explanation doesn’t hold water. A “national emergency declaration” isn’t necessary to waive hospital tent rules. Obama could have easily accomplished the same thing with an Executive Order, without having to invoke the National Emergencies Act or put FEMA in charge at all.

He chose the emergency declaration for a specific reason. I guess we’ll all have to wait and see what that real reason turns out to be.

The answer may actually be very simple. If you look up the reported post marketing adverse reactions for seasonal flu vaccines you'll see that "more than or equal to 1 in 10" people who receive the vaccine report influenza like symptoms. Which would be about right given that we all know someone who has sworn off flu vaccines because "I got the flu and I was never so sick in my life." So if they o vaccinate on the scale on which they plan and at least 10% of those people come down with influenza symptoms then they will actually create the second wave which they keep warning us about.

<The National Emergencies Act passed in 1976 has some peculiar realities attached to it.>

Law is politics in action, designed to control the direction of flow of power. Proven at bridgend magistrates court only recently. People have been made to live in fear, fear even of their own lives and they support the system by condemning other people.

Attempts are in play to privatise everything but debt. Not one or all of the courts can shield such a con. People are not so afraid of truth that they will ignore all its consquences.

Why flu?

From the dictator's persective, if you keep people busy building pyramids what happens when they are built, they start to collapse under their own weight or people notice there is an elephant in the room. Does the dictator try and secure the dictatorship, knock the pyramids over and start again, eliminate the superfluous slaves or a mixture of such things? The ball started rolling big time on 9/11, two towers being demolished in new york being symbolic of the nature of the sabotage that was intended.

With a technical age work becomes substantially redundant, necessary or useful work for the dictatorship that is. The freedom that technology affords people is incompatible with a dictatorship. The power con relies on feeding the lust for it (promotion the carrot and demotion the stick with law and taxes always on the up) and if blowing up this world isn't enough we have nasa blowing up the moon by recent accounts. There is a limit to these pyramid scams, most profit on earth but for alaska went into compression, dictatorships seek to protect themselves by destroying everything else they can get away with.

They say the pyramids are tombs for the pharoahs when really people have been busy digging their own graves if they haven't been too busy to notice. Flu was an exception, people noticed and this con is being sterilised by the people.

in plato's republic, it is explained how in a "good" society, one that is obedient and serves the good of the state, the masses are controlled through their fears. that fear is created through a "proper education" (ie, indoctrination into the system of abuse, my words, not plato's).

The Republic, 429c:
The city is courageous, then, because of a part of itself that has the power to preserve through everything its belief about what things are to be feared, namely, that they are the things and kinds of things that the lawgiver declared to be such in the course of educating it...

(*edit* link is fixed now)

if we aren't afraid enough of the flu to accept the controls, maybe the vaccine is a more frightening threat. mind control works by traumatizing us into a state of fearful obedience, acceptance, and denial. everything being pumped out in the media now seems to have the intent of creating fear. if one threat fails to create the fear that makes us compliant, they just change the script, switch sides. the good guys become the bad guys, and the war rages on.

Or maybe the government simply needs the power to react more quickly if the pandemic (defined by range, not severity BTW) turns out to be deadly or mutates into a more dangerous form.

<Or maybe the government simply needs the power >

The government has the habit of doing what it is told to do, obama is employed to do what he is told to do or else. The hymn sheet he sings from and what he does are template scripts, some of it you can read in advance at the royal society.

How can the views of anyone be relevant if they don't have their own minds, if they don't even know their minds have been hijacked by mind control?

I was just talking to an american, that person defined america as a construct, a mind state. That state of people's minds is crucial, manipulating such things is much of what politics is about, a few imposing their will on others.

Chris and his work with this website has done much to help people reclaim their own minds. I think that is more net benefit than one is likely to see from the white house, congress, supreme court etc.

I thought this was probably the most important paragraph in the story. The administration needs to pass legislation that would be too difficult to pass under usual means. Probably some type of legislation that will strengthen the central government and at the same time take away civil liberties. Even though they do not have power to do that anyways. But the sheeple will believe they have the right to do this.
