China threatens 'nuclear option' of dollar sales
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
Last Updated: 8:39pm BST 10/08/2007
The Chinese government has begun a concerted campaign of economic threats against the United States, hinting that it may liquidate its vast holding of US treasuries if Washington imposes trade sanctions to force a yuan revaluation.
Blog - Dollar to collapse?
| |
 |
Fistful of dollars - China's trade surplus reached $26.9bn in June
|
Two officials at leading Communist Party bodies have given interviews in recent days warning - for the first time - that Beijing may use its $1.33 trillion (£658bn) of foreign reserves as a political weapon to counter pressure from the US Congress.
Shifts in Chinese policy are often announced through key think tanks and academies.
Described as China's "nuclear option" in the state media, such action could trigger a dollar crash at a time when the US currency is already breaking down through historic support levels.
It would also cause a spike in US bond yields, hammering the US housing market and perhaps tipping the economy into recession. It is estimated that China holds over $900bn in a mix of US bonds.
Xia Bin, finance chief at the Development Research Centre (which has cabinet rank), kicked off what now appears to be government policy with a comment last week that Beijing's foreign reserves should be used as a "bargaining chip" in talks with the US.
"Of course, China doesn't want any undesirable phenomenon in the global financial order," he added.
He Fan, an official at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, went even further today, letting it
be known that Beijing had the power to set off a dollar collapse if it choose to do so.
"China has accumulated a large sum of US dollars. Such a big sum, of which a considerable portion is in US treasury bonds, contributes a great deal to maintaining the position of the dollar as a reserve currency. Russia, Switzerland, and several other countries have reduced the their dollar holdings.
"China is unlikely to follow suit as long as the yuan's exchange rate is stable against the dollar.
The Chinese central bank will be forced to sell dollars once the yuan appreciated dramatically, which might lead to a mass depreciation of the dollar," he told China Daily.
The threats play into the presidential electoral campaign of Hillary Clinton, who has called for restrictive legislation to prevent America being "held hostage to economic decicions being made
in Beijing, Shanghai, or Tokyo".
She said foreign control over 44pc of the US national debt had left America acutely vulnerable.
Simon Derrick, a currency strategist at the Bank of New York Mellon, said the comments were a message to the US Senate as Capitol Hill prepares legislation for the Autumn session.
"The words are alarming and unambiguous. This carries a clear political threat and could have
very serious consequences at a time when the credit markets are already afraid of contagion
from the subprime troubles," he said.
A bill drafted by a group of US senators, and backed by the Senate Finance Committee, calls for trade tariffs against Chinese goods as retaliation for alleged currency manipulation.
The yuan has appreciated 9pc against the dollar over the last two years under a crawling peg but
it has failed to halt the rise of China's trade surplus, which reached $26.9bn in June.
Henry Paulson, the US Tresury Secretary, said any such sanctions would undermine American authority and "could trigger a global cycle of protectionist legislation".
Mr Paulson is a China expert from his days as head of Goldman Sachs. He has opted for a softer form of diplomacy, but appeared to win few concession from Beijing on a unscheduled trip to
China last week aimed at calming the waters.

Subject: 1939: MGM's "Peace On Earth", and How To Win The War On Terror
Click here to see the only cartoon in history ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. It's
about eight
minutes long and very well done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVFeVYFs-40Recently,
I listened to a hour-long lecture given by William Perry, former Defense
Secretary and one of ten panelists on President Bush's Iraq Study Group (ISG). Perry's
knowledgeable view of the prospects and consequences of our invasion and occupation
of Iraq is so dim and so pessimistic, Cindy Sheehan looks hawkish in comparison.
Afterward, emerging from deep depression, I got to thinking: this war was born of artful
lies, deception and manipulation of facts.Why not end it the same way?
Following is a rough draft of how to win the war on terror thru lies and deceit (feel
free to expand, delete, take credit for it, or change any part of it. It's imaginary after all):
1. Go scoop up some beggar off a street corner in Beirut. It doesn't matter if he's Shiite or Sunni or
Dervish or what, as long as he looks terrorist (meaning he would glide right
through any Homeland Security airport departing flights cordon while the snow-white 80-year-old
woman is strip-searched).
2. Dress him up in terrorist garb. Turban, robes, all the good stuff. Have him say "In'sh Allah" every
two or three sentences.
3. Spread rumors about a major media event coming. Have the White House deny all such rumors.
4. Introduce him to the mass media as Khalif Mohammed (or whatever, you know? Just pick a good,
terrorist-sounding Muslim name), chief representative of a coalition of Islamic terrorist organizations,
including Al Quaeda.
5. Have him explain that bin Laden has renounced Islam, been reborn in Jesus Christ his new
Lord and Savior, and hereby commands that all terrorist activities cease immediately, especially
suicide attacks.
6. Finally, have our beggar-cum-terrorist king offer up a signed, formal document of
Unconditional Surrender, and another dissolving support to all and any violent organized
groups.
Bingo! The War On Terror is won! We WIN! USA! USA! Finally, we can start to rebuild in
peace and security.That's pretty much how we started this war. I bet it would work to get
us out.

Excerpt:
4.2 Public health: virus transfer
More attention has been devoted to the danger of virus transfer than any other issue in the
debate on xenotransplantation. It has also been the issue that has done most to force government regulatory bodies to deal with the technology with apparent caution. Unlike immunological and physiological complications, virus transfer affects not only the recipient of the organ, but endangers the entire human population.26 Some commentators have suggested that newly emerging viruses pose the greatest risk to human health in modern times.27 These viruses usually cross into the human population from other species of animals.
Normally the skin, mucosal surfaces and the highly acidic environment of the gastric system present an effective barrier to such viruses. However, xenotransplantation presents a unique opportunity for cross-species infection because it involves the circumvention of all these natural barriers, bringing animal viruses directly into contact with the living cells and tissue of patients with heavily-suppressed immune systems.28 To make matters worse, one leading virologist, Professor Robin Weiss, suggests that the introduction of human genetic material into pig cells could enable pig viruses to infect human beings more efficiently.29
There are several incidences of viral pandemics that have emerged from animals, including pigs.
One stronglysupported theory contends that HIV crossed from chimpanzees to humans, possibly through contaminated polio vaccines produced from chimpanzee kidneys. AIDS victims now number several million worldwide.30 The Spanish Influenza epidemic of 1918 which killed up to 50 million people is thought to have originated from pigs.31 More recently, a previously unknown virus spread from pigs to humans in Malaysia killing over half of the 200+ people it infected.32 There are literally hundreds of examples of cross-species infection. Often, the virus causes no ill-effects in its natural host. But when the virus finds itself in a new host, it can become pathogenic, and even deadly.

Rescuing the American Flag Review of 50 American Revolutions You’re Not Supposed to Know: Reclaiming American Patriotism by Mickey Z. (Disinformation, 2005, 155 pages).
"I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world.” -Eugene V. Debs, Mickey Z. wants to reclaim American patriotism from the zealots who have turned it into an antihuman passion. His new book, 50 American Revolutions You’re Not Supposed to Know: Reclaiming American Patriotism, highlights people throughout US history who, through self-sacrifice and struggle, elevated the welfare of individuals and the community above the survival of the lifeless entity known as the nation-state. The 50 “revolutions” cited in the book represent a form of patriotism based on challenging tradition and taking action. The book serves as a wonderful companion to Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. Both serve as histories of the United States, although Zinn begins with Columbus while Mickey starts with Thomas Paine’s Common Sense (published in 1776).
This document is the transcription of a speech given by Dan Lyons at the Mediterranean Vegetarian Festival in Malta, October 5 1999. Dan Lyons is a campaigner with Uncaged Campaigns, which is an anti-vivisection NGO based in Sheffield, England. He is also a PhD researcher at the University of Sheffield, investigating the ethical and political implications of xenotransplantation.References

Xenotransplantation: A New Way of Consuming Animals?
1. Introduction Xenotransplantation is the transplant of LIVE cells, tissues and organs from one species to another species.Specifically, we are talking about the prospect of transplanting material from pigs into human beings. Although, in the,meantime, a range of quite gruesome animal experiments have taken place where, for example, organs from pigs have been transplanted into rhesus monkeys and baboons1, some of whom have been captured from the wild.
2. The reason why xenotransplantation is being developed is that companies such as Novartis are trying to exploit a gap in the market for organ transplants.
3 There are growing waiting lists for organs and, currently, shortfalls in the supply.
4
Although heart valves from pigs have been transplanted into human beings for the past twenty-five years, these valves are preserved in glutaraldehyde, thereby rendering them lifeless - they are not living tissue, and perform a relatively,simple, mechanical function. Furthermore, it is believed that they do not harbour microorganisms such as viruses that could infect the recipient and then move into the general population.5 Obviously, from an animal-rights perspective,whether the tissue is alive or not is beside the point as both kinds of tissue involve the exploitation of animals. However, modern xenotransplantation threatens to open up a brand new, never seen before area of animal abuse. This,means that fighting xenotransplantation must become a priority for animal protection campaigners around the world.,The fact that xenotransplantation is not yet established means there is a unique opportunity to tackle a form of animal abuse when it is perhaps at its most vulnerable, rather than reacting too late.
2. The development of xenotransplantation The research team which is probably at the forefront of efforts to develop xenotransplantation is Imutran, who are based in Cambridge, England. Imutran was formed in the mid 1980s by David White - an immunologist, and the Papworth Hospital transplant surgeon John Wallwork. Imutran's macabre vision has been to develop geneticallycorrupted pigs (through the addition of a human gene to the pig's genome) who would be kept in unnatural, barren conditions, and then slaughtered and dismembered. Their organs would then be transplanted into patients with organ failure. In 1995, Imutran caused international shockwaves by claiming that they were ready to transplant pig hearts into humans within a year. Many commentators, including doctors, transplant surgeons and other scientists, condemned this announcement as not only grossly premature because of the lack of scientific basis for such a move, but also they noted the presence of powerful financial motivations for such a prediction. By exaggerating the prospects of xenotransplantation, the company hoped to make itself more attractive to potential investors or buyers.6 It seems to
have worked. Imutran was bought by the Swiss pharmaceutical corporation Sandoz in 1996. Sandoz had a particular interest in transplantation generally because it was the manufacturer of the drug which completely dominates the
market for immunosuppressant drugs: Cyclosporine.
7 The following year, Sandoz merged with another Swiss drug company, Ciba Geigy, to form a powerful and verywealthy new drug corporation - Novartis. Today, Novartis is in competition with a couple of U.S.-based biotechnology,firms for a share of what is predicted to be an $11 billion annual market for pig organs and associated drug treatments8 - if it works, and if it is allowed to go ahead.
Imutran's prediction of pig hearts in humans by the end of 1996 did not materialise. Now, in October 1999, no permission has yet been granted to transplant organs from pigs into humans anywhere in the world. (Although some sporadic experiments have taken place in the U.S. and elsewhere with pig cells and external pig livers).,In response to Imutran's shock announcement in 1995, the UK Government created an Advisory Group on the Ethics of Xenotransplantation (AGEX), who published a report in January 1997. Deplorably, but not
surprisingly, the AGEX concluded that the exploitation of pigs as sources of material for xenotransplantation was, in principle, justifiable.9 The AGEX was able to reach this conclusion because they dismissed, without making any argument, the case for animal rights. This dismissal had no basis in rationality, and betrayed a dogmatic unwillingness to question the tyranny of certain industries and associated professions over nonhuman animals.
However, the AGEX also concluded that there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate that safety and effectiveness of xenotransplantation. Therefore, for human-centred reasons, it would be unethical to proceed with clinical trials,according to the AGEX.10 The UK Government agreed with the AGEX, and imposed a de facto moratorium on human
trials of xenotransplantation procedures, pending evidence in favour of their safety and effectiveness. Since the UK report, other European countries, including the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and France have taken up policy positions broadly in line with the UK's. The Council of Europe and the European Union are also starting to develop xenotransplantation regulations.
At the same time, Imutran/Novartis have been conducting various forms of research, including an ongoing programme of severe and traumatic animal experiments, in order to try to produce evidence that they can interpret in such a way so as to pressurise regulatory authorities to allow them to proceed with the first human trials.
Furthermore, other biotechnology companies trying to market products comprised of live pig cells have applied for permission to conduct human trials,11 though such permission has yet to be granted.
3. The International Dimension,As mentioned earlier, several European countries have started to develop regulations on xenotransplantation.Furthermore, controversial small-scale clinical trials of pig cells and pig livers (as external blood perfusion devices) have taken place in the USA. Canada is also a fast-emerging centre for xenotransplantation. It has been predicted that Novartis's first human experiments with pig organs will take place in the Canada within two years (September 2001).12
Two years ago, a maverick doctor was jailed in India for unsuccessfully transplanting a pig's heart into a man.
13
Novartis is a global company, and would therefore intend to sell pig organs wherever conventional transplants currently take place. However, research into xenotransplantation, and the suffering and destruction of animals that accompanies it, is already international in scope.
Novartis has exported genetically-mutated pigs for research and breeding purposes from the UK to the following countries: USA, Japan, Netherlands, Canada, Spain & Italy.14 In addition, Sweden, Switzerland, France and Australia have witnessed research and/or regulatory activity.These are just the countries we know about.
4. Aspects of Xenotransplantation Most of the controversial issues that xenotransplantation throws up can be grouped into three broad categories:medical, public health, and treatment of animals. A brief examination of these subjects demonstrates that xenotransplantation embodies presumptions and attitudes that are diametrically opposed to both a respectful and a realistic view of living organisms and the natural world. 4.1 Medical aspects The overarching question we must pose here is Can xenotransplantation work? There are two serious medical obstacles to effective xenotransplantation: rejection and organ function.4.1.1 Rejection Rejection problems are far worse, at every stage, with pig-to-human transplants than with "conventional" human-tohuman transplants.
15 In particular, pig transplants provoke a reaction from the human immmune system called Hyperacute Rejection (HAR), which can kill the organ within minutes.16 The genetic manipulation of pigs is designed to overcome this by introducing a human gene to stimulate production of a sugar which interrupts the reaction in human blood which would normally lead part of the immune system to attack the foreign organ.
17 Imutran/Novartis have experimented on hundreds of primates to see if they have succeeded in producing pig organs that do not succumb to HAR. Some reported results from these experiments appear to show that they have succeeded in a proportion of cases.
18 However, results from non-human primate experiments do not predict the human response reliably, which is why Imutran/Novartis have been very keen to move to human trials - they have acknowledged that there is a limit to what they can find out in animal experiments. Furthermore, overcoming HAR has uncovered further severe problems. There are at least three subsequent rejection processes to be endured by the xenotransplanted organ.
19
These rejection processes are poorly understood in human-to-human transplants, never mind xenotransplantation. Now,Imutran/Novartis are trying to develop new, powerful anti-rejection drugs to try to dampen down these extremely strong rejection processes.20 These new cocktails of drugs hold several dangers - they may not work, the side-effects are severe, and they make virus transfer from pigs into human more likely to occur.4.1.2 Organ function The two organs most likely to be transplanted are kidneys and hearts. Differences between pig and human livers are widely acknowledged to be too great for a realistic prospect of successful xenotransplantation.
21
But the bottom line is that pig kidneys and hearts are not the same as human kidneys and hearts. They are different anatomically, physiologically and biochemically.22 Many reports about the prospects of xenotransplantation have,expressed optimism about the technology by making shallow statements referring to similarities in size between pig organs and human organs. Not only is this hopelessly vague, but it is pretty irrelevant. There are countless criteria that,an organ must fulfil if it is going to function in a human being, and size is one of the most trivial. Pig kidneys produce different substances at different rates to human kidneys. A unique study published last year,identified eight major anatomical differences between pig hearts and human hearts.
23 The notion that pig organs are sufficiently similar to human organs is undoubtedly little more than dogma. We can identify a particular worldview that lurks behind the xenotransplantation project. This worldview holds and,erroneous atomistic and reductionist view of living organisms and nature in general. In contrast, our own position is this:Organisms are highly integrated both internally and externally with their environment. Pig organs have evolved to cope with the whole of the pig's life: its entire ,physiology,and its environmental circumstances combine to form what could,be described as the porcine condition. Taking an organ whose natural context is the porcinecondition ,and transplanting that organ into utterly different conditions invites complications and incompatibilities that would work in a kind of exponential chain reaction through the whole of the recipient's body.
24
Indeed, xenotransplantation is biologically irrational because it falsely assumes that human and nonhuman body parts are interchangeable.
25
4.2 Public health: virus transfer More attention has been devoted to the danger of virus transfer than any other issue in the debate on xenotransplantation. It has also been the issue that has done most to force government regulatory bodies to deal with the technology with apparent caution. Unlike immunological and physiological complications, virus transfer affects not only the recipient of the organ, but endangers the entire human population.
26
Some commentators have suggested that newly emerging viruses pose the greatest risk to human health in modern times.
27 These viruses usually cross into the human population from other species of animals. Normally the skin, mucosal surfaces and the highly acidic environment of the gastric system present an effective barrier to such viruses.However, xenotransplantation presents a unique opportunity for cross-species infection because it involves the circumvention of all these natural barriers, bringing animal viruses directly into contact with the living cells and tissue of patients with heavily-suppressed immune systems.28 To make matters worse, one leading virologist, Professor Robin Weiss, suggests that the introduction of human genetic material into pig cells could enable pig viruses to infect human beings more efficiently.
29
There are several incidences of viral pandemics that have emerged from animals, including pigs. One stronglysupported theory contends that HIV crossed from chimpanzees to humans, possibly through contaminated polio vaccines produced from chimpanzee kidneys. AIDS victims now number several million worldwide.30 The Spanish Influenza epidemic of 1918 which killed up to 50 million people is thought to have originated from pigs.
31
More recently, a previously unknown virus spread from pigs to humans in Malaysia killing over half of
the 200+people it infected.
32
There are literally hundreds of examples of cross-species infection. Often, the virus causes no ill-effects in its natural host. But when the virus finds itself in a new host, it can become pathogenic, and even deadly.
33
The danger posed by viruses in pigs was brought to the fore by a series of surprising studies that showed that some pig endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) -
a particular kind of virus - can infect human cells.
34
Furthermore, PERVs cannot be eliminated from pigs.35 These results shocked
the scientific community and other observers of the development of xenotransplantation, and have
been a major reason for the lack of widespread clinical trials of xenotransplantation.
36
Efforts to learn about, predict and control the risk of cross-species infection are severely hampered. Trying to detect viruses is an uncertain and imprecise affair, and testing for unknown viruses presents
a formidable challenge to say the least. It is acknowledged that pigs will contain unknown viruses.
37
Despite the persistent danger of virus transfer, Imutran/Novartis have continued to push ahead with research, including spurious studies of previous recipients of live pig tissue scattered around the world. Imutran/Novartis have tried to claim that these studies indicate that the risk of viral transfer from xenotransplantation is sufficiently low to justify clinical trials.38 This interpretation is debatable to say the very least, and many scientists and other observers have pointed to several weaknesses in the study's predictive power for the safety of xenotransplantation.
39
Together with national governments, Imutran/Novartis have formulated guidelines for the housing of pigs and the surveillance of future recipients of pig tissue. Biotech corporations and regulators alike try to give the impression of knowledge and control. This is a dangerous myth. As virologist Dr Jon Allan put it: "If you're putting your bets on containment, it's a lost cause."
40
Perhaps the greatest danger lies with insidious viruses with long incubation periods, such as the retrovirus HIV or cancer-causing viruses. Such viruses could spread throughout the human population
for decades before coming to light.Even once a disease is identified, our experience of HIV/AIDS demonstrates that control and containment is impossible.
41
Once again, the approach to the risk of virus transfer adopted by industry and government is based
upon faulty underlying assumptions about the nature of living organisms. Thus they have a tendency
to exhibit an arrogant delusion when it comes to the concept of controlling the danger posed by
viruses in xenotransplantation. In our submission to the United Kingdom governmental regulators, Uncaged Campaigns made the point that any claims for meaningful control of the action and spread of viruses are likely to be dangerously exaggerated. Our view is based on an appreciation of the complexity and interconnectedness of biological phenomena - an appreciation which is sadly lacking from much of modern scientific endeavour. As a society, we are deluding ourselves if we can completely control nature. Nature is inherently chaotic and unpredictable, as well as mind-bogglingly complex - that is what makes it "nature."By trying to force xenotransplantation upon society, Novartis and others are literally playing Russion Roulette with all of us.4.3 The impact on animals Xenotransplantation is, quite clearly and intrinsically, a systematic abuse of the fundamental moral right of all sentient creatures to enjoy life, liberty and natural enjoyment without deliberate interference from human moral agents. Specifically, there are two main areas where animals are being made to suffer and are exploited in devastating ways: the production of source animals and vivisectionist research. Pigs, who are highly intelligent and sociable animals, are being lined up as the source animals. A substantial research effort is being made by Imutran/Novartis, PPL Therapeutics (the creators of Dolly the cloned sheep) and US biotech companies to genetically-mutate pigs through the addition of human genes into the pig's genome. The production of transgenic pigs has involved invasive surgery on sows, including the removal of eggs, the reinjection of eggs into different sows, and the birth of transgenic pigs, sometimes through the hysterectomy and destruction of the sow.
42
To expand the transgenic heard, the piglets are weaned as early as five days, when naturally they
would weaned at anything up to 80 days. This causes psychological distress to both mother and piglet. Selected members of the herd, known as sentinels, are routinely executed and tested for infections etc..
43
The transgenic pigs are raised in so-called Qualified Pathogen Free conditions that aim to exclude only certain identified pathogens from the herd. The RSPCA says about these conditions: "We believe that this seriously limits their ability to express their normal behaviour repertoire."44 In particular, pigs
spend most of their daylight hours rooting and foraging. This will be severely disrupted and frustrated
by their conditions.
The reality of these conditions was discovered in the course of an undercover investigation organised
by the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection at a bredding establishment called Harlan UK in Leicestershire. The investigator saw how the pigs' overcrowded conditions led to frustration and boredom. The pigs began to fight viciously with each other: these animals are quite literally emotionally and physically damaged.
45
Their lives are then extinguished by the xenotransplantation researchers.. They are dismembered,
and their organs and tissue used in experiments. Other tissue is tested for signs of infection and gene expression. Used and abused, discarded like rubbish: this is the ultimate in degrading exploitation.
Genzyme is a US-based biotechnology company that has been the first to submit an application to the UK Xenotransplantation Interim Regulatory Authority (UKXIRA) to conduct a clinical trial of a xenotransplantation procedure.
46
Genzyme decapitates piglet foetuses in order to mine foetal brain cells. In research, monkeys have
been brain-damaged in ham-fisted attempts to model Parkinson's disease. The foetal pig cells have
then been injected into the monkeys' brains.
47
Imutran/Novartis have exported transgenic pigs around the world. Some pigs have been exported to accompany transgenic pigs, and then simply destroyed when they have reached their destination. Research in the UK and elsewhere has involved the transplantation of various pig organs into primates such as rhesus monkeys and baboons, some of whom have been captured from the wild. Imutran/Novartis are working their way through some 200 primate victims at a research centre in the Netherlands which has been criticised by the RSPCA for cruelty to monkeys.
48
Some "control" monkeys have received non-transgenic organs so that experimenters can compare the their survival rates with those who have received transgenic organs. These control monkeys have died within a few days from organ failure. Monkeys with transgenic organs have been kept alive for up to 100 days, gradually dying of organ rejection and other complications. In their papers, Imutran reveal: "Five animals from the transgenic heart group had to be euthanased due to gastrointestinal toxicity, resulting in severe diarrhoea."
49 In other words, they were being poisoned to death by Imutran's researchers. Other monkeys who
have received pig kidneys have died of severe anaemia because the kidneys have failed to function in the necessary manner.
50
Imutran claim to be concerned for animal welfare! As if the catalogue of misery and abuse related above were not damning enough, one of the reasons why Imutran/Novartis has exported pigs around the world has been to avoid the situation where UK Government Inspectors have asked Imutran researchers to put primates out of their misery.
Imutran researchers have complained that they would like to keep them alive to the bitter end in order to learn as much about rejection and organ function as possible.51 The hesitancy of the UK Government to give them permission to start clinical trials is another reason why they have taken their research and breeding programmes around the world in order to beat their American competitors in the race to dominate a potentially lucrative market.
5. Campaigning against xenotransplantation Uncaged Campaigns started to lobby against xenotransplantation in July 1996. We decided to embark on this campaign because xenotransplantation was not being tackled in a concerted fashion.. Given the enormity of the technology's consequences for both human health and animal welfare, we felt that it was imperative that there
was sustained and informed opposition to the practice.
Our campaigning work has many facets. One of the most important is public education. Through street information stalls, we have distributed hundreds of thousands of xenotransplantation information leaflets to members of the public.
At the same time we have collected almost a quarter of a million signatures on our petition calling for
a ban on xenotransplantation. 20,000 members of the public have also sent postcards to the UK Department of Health to express their opposition to xenotransplantation. We have consistently responded to Government announcements and scientific developments with demonstration, petition submissions, and scores of regional and national media appearances.
In spring 1997 we submitted a 56-page report to the Department of Health detailing our case against xenotransplantation. The deep and telling criticisms contained in our report have since been referred
to positively in academic journal papers and textbooks for law undergraduates. Uncaged Campaigns representatives have met with relevant Government ministers and civil servants. Early Day Motions
have been tabled on our behalf in the House of Commons and attracted cross-party support.
Parliamentary Questions we have drafted have squeezed information about xenotransplantation from ministers.Overall, the public's response to our campaign has been very positive. We have received much more support than we expected. The public realise that xenotransplantation is a cruel and dangerous technology.This is a truly historic campaign. The implications for public health and the welfare and rights of animals are momentous. There is a great deal to fight for before the development of xenotransplantation gains even greater momentum, making it a harder task to bring this technological juggernaut to a halt.
As we near the turn of the millenium, we must ask the big question: How should
we define the progress of humanity?,By measuring the number of complex, radical and unstable technologies we develop?
By our bizarre efforts to achieve immortality?
Or should it be by the way we treat others?
The philosopher and writer Milan Kundera, in the Unbearable Lightness of Being, suggested that the measure of humankind can be taken by the way we treat those who we have power over. The group
that exemplifies powerlessness is nonhuman animals. Kundera observes that because of the abuse
and cruelty we inflict on animals, humankind is a "debacle." Let us not allow that disastrous situation
to deteriorate even further. This is a millenial struggle for a millenial movement - challenging the
abuse and destruction of animals, people and the environment by corporate science and technology. Let us engage in that struggle, and win it.

Polonium-210
IT’S IN TOBACCO AND CAUSES 90% OF LUNG CANCERS!!
by Gregory Sams.
The UK press, in their main story on airborne radiation, continuously refer to polonium-210 as a rare isotope. It isn’t! It’s even available at a discount from most international airports. Whilst it appears as though the death of a Russian spy has alerted us to an exotic new poison, Polonium-210 is already killing tens of thousands of Britons annually!!!
In 1990, the American Surgeon General declared on national TV that radioactivity, not nicotine or tar, accounts for at least 90% of all smoking-related lung cancers.
Yes, cigarettes are lightly radioactive . Tobacco itself is particularly good at absorbing radioactive elements from the air and soil, but the majority of its radioactivity arises from the fertiliser used in tobacco growing, based on rock-mineral apatite. This mineral contains radon, which decays to deposit deadly polonium-210 in the fine hairs of tobacco leaves, which then embeds in smokers¹ lungs, beaming out alpha radiation for years.
Increasing usage of these radon-rich fertilisers, from 1940, is thought to account for an 18-fold increase in the per capita incidence of lung cancers in the USA between 1930 and 1980. During the same period, though smoking had gone down by 20%, the levels of polonium-210 in tobacco leaves tripled. In 1982 the New England Journal of Medicine) estimated that a 30-cigarette per day smoker will accumulate radiation in their lungs that is equivalent to 300 chest x-rays per year.
Of 33,000 UK deaths per annum from lung cancer, 90% would equate to 30,000 caused by radiation . Whilst the death of Alexander Litvinenko fixates the media, it is sobering to realise that some 575 Britons die every week as a result of gradually ingesting the same substance that poisoned him.
Of course it is neither in the interests of the government nor the tobacco industry to publicise the radiation situation, which they jointly brought about. Nor do anti-smoking campaigners wish to give attention to confusing data which might show that smoking is not, of itself, the killer. They are well aware of the situation, and their reluctance to do anything about it is nothing short of criminal.
Perhaps we could benefit from the polonium-210 publicity bonanza by recognising it as the unnecessary toxin in a common drug. However socially undesirable is the smoking of tobacco, it need not lead to the suffering and tragic death by lung cancer of so many users.
The tragic loss of one Russian ex-spy could turn out to be for the greater good if, through raising this issue, the lives of millions of future smokers can be saved. SPREAD THE WORD!
Just google Polonium 210 tobacco to verify all this information for yourself.

"In my estimation, AIDS is a covert operation run amok that is bigger than any secret operation in US history".
Colonel Jack Kingston retired Joint Chiefs of Staff The Pentagon
AIDS
Is AIDS a conspiracy? It is the most potent mystery of the 21st Century. It is a disease with no vaccine or cure. No-one knows for sure where it came from. No-one can adequately explain why it is devastating Africa and other Third World populations, but has not spread in the West.
There are many unanswered questions surrounding AIDS, and while it is known that the HIV virus definitely causes AIDS, its origin and mode of transmission still remain in dispute. While the scientific community believes HIV may have jumped species by "a hungry African eating or having sex with a chimpanzee," this origin scenario must seriously be questioned in light of recent discoveries. The explanation that the rapid spread of AIDS in Africa is by sexual transmission alone, must also be scrutinized as the disease fails to take hold in the Western World.
1. "Depopulation should be the highest priority of US foreign policy towards the Third World.
2. "Reduction of the rate of population in these states is a matter of vital US national security."
3. "The US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less-developed countries.
That fact gives the US enhanced interests in the political, economic and social stability of the supplying countries. Wherever a
lessening of population can increase the prospects for such stability, population policy becomes relevant to resources, supplies
and the economic interest of the United States."
The National Security Council. NSSM 200 - "Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for US Security & Overseas Interests," Washington DC, the White House, December 10, 1974. Declassified July 3, 1989.
Henry Kissinger wrote the above report in 1974, ten years before the announcement of the discovery of the HIV virus.
The scientific community state that HIV entered the human population of Africa for the first time around 1975, just months after this
top-secret agenda. Tests on blood and tissue samples collected in Central Africa from 1964 - 1975 showed no evidence of HIV infection. "Something dramatic happened in 1975," said leading AIDS scientist Dr. Jay Levy.
At the start of the Cold War, both America and Russia eagerly pursued many avenues of biological weaponization. The Russian scientists concentrated their efforts on bacteria-based weaponry designed for use in a large-scale military war, including anthrax and plague. However, Russian spies discovered that the American program was far more advanced, and was specifically geared towards genetic engineering, cancer and viruses - a continuation of the Nazis' research. Recent disclosures by the Simon Wiesenthal Center show that
the CIA gave Japanese war criminals immunity from prosecution in return for medical research from the horrific experiment camp
Unit 731, whose victims numbered ten times those of the Nazi scientists, including American and British POW's.
As a consequence in 1976, eight years before the discovery of the HIV virus, the Russians called for a ban on exotic arms - an expansion of the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention. According to Pentagon think-tank specialists Alvin and Heidi Toffler in their book War and Anti-War:
"The Russians warned of the hideous possibility of race-specific weapons genetically engineered to single out and decimate only the members of selected ethnic groups - the ultimate genocidal weapon for race war."
Within the scientific community debate still rages about the origin of HIV/AIDS. Many claim it crossed from chimpanzees that carry a
similar retrovirus now known as SIV. The crossover, it is claimed by the West, occurred when "a hungry African ate a chimpanzee."
Not surprisingly Africans find this deduction to be startlingly racist and inaccurate as chimpanzee meat has been popular in the African
diet since the beginning of the human race.
If a policeman were to be looking at the occurrence of AIDS as a potential crime or an unsolved mystery, he might begin by asking who gains from the consequences of the disease - i.e. the motive. Since the announcement of the discovery of the HIV virus on April 23 1984 the predicted spread of the disease in the West has not occurred. However, Africa now sees infection rates running as high as 40 percent in some regions, while many countries have a 25 percent infection rate. According to recent United Nations' AIDS in Africa reports "The probability that you die from AIDS when you are 15 today is over fifty percent."
If American teenagers were affected to this degree, parents would be running around in the streets screaming for help.
Head of UNAIDS Peter Piot says "Entire generations are being taken out. We are going into societies were there are more people in
their 60's and 70's than in their 40's and 30's. This is unheard of." Although sexual activity and sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea are no greater or lesser than in other parts of the world, sexual transmission is blamed for the massively disproportionate spread of AIDS. And yet if initial infections occurred ten or more years previously, as is common with HIV/AIDS, these teens and children would have been too young to be involved in sexual behavior. Ignorance is also cited as a major factor, and yet the worst hit nations such as Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa have the highest literacy rates - more than 90 percent. The only common factor amongst these age-groups is inoculation, which is widespread and implemented to most babies and children until their teens.
The population of Africa is irreversibly declining, which is causing massive economic and social instability. Agricultural production is
slowing as thousands die every week, which will have a devastating effect on the continents poorest countries.
Strangely, fears of this disease negatively affecting the West do not seem to be very high. Indeed, Western governments are even working to prevent African nations from manufacturing their own protease inhibitor AIDS drugs. While these drugs are by no means
a cure, they do offer sufferers an extension of life, while a cure is sought. This kind of Government level interference goes beyond concerns about trade and economics, and speaks of the deep rooted racism of the white Western World. Indeed, the icon and
spiritual leader of this culture Pope John Paul II, has traveled extensively throughout Third World countries since the discovery of
AIDS with the messianic fervor of a true Christian missionary. His purpose is to prevent the native people of the world from using
rubber condoms, which he claims are "evil" as they are a form of birth control. And yet, condoms are the only known protection
against AIDS.
In fact, the Roman Catholic Church is already deeply implicated in the spread of AIDS since 1975. The scientific community accepts that the initial Big Bang spread of HIV in Africa was caused by the re-use of unsterilized needles during inoculations in missionary hospitals. While sexual transmission amplified the rate of infection, it was not the major factor that caused the initial explosion of infections. The widespread re-use of "dirty needles" in the Congo/Zaire by Catholic missionary hospitals was vehemently opposed by American CDC scientists who urgently warned against the spread of disease. At Christmas 1976 virus specialist Dr. Peter Piot personally visited the headquarters of the Catholic "Sisters of the Holy Heart of Maria" in Antwerp, Belgium and warned the Mother Superior that her hospitals should either be closed or staffed by certified physicians.
This advice was clearly ignored as the Big Bang of primary HIV infections in fact did occur and continue unchecked until the discovery
of the HIV virus eight years later in 1984. The first isolates of HIV were pin-pointed to have emerged simultaneously at the Belgium Catholic missionary hospital of Yambuku, Zaire, and at the Italian Catholic missionary hospital of N'zara, Sudan, which is over 700 miles away. According to the CDC's Dr. Joe McCormick in his book Virus Hunters of the CDC, HIV levels in blood taken from these locations in 1976 was at 0.7 percent (5 of 659 samples). Indeed, McCormick stresses that these virus samples are considered the prototype strain
of the many subsequent mutations. By the early 1980's HIV levels in West Africa were around 4 percent, having been spread mainly
by the re-use of unsterilized needles.
However, there is no explanation for today's Big Bang-like spread of HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa, as a sterilized needle policy has been in place since the harsh lessons of the 80's. In fact, prior to the end of the apartheid regime cases of AIDS in South Africa were one of the lowest on the continent, yet now it is the highest. In 1990 HIV infection was at 0.76 percent, and mainly restricted to gay, white males. Within a year of the 1994 end-of-apartheid elections, the rate was up to 10 percent, predominantly amongst black heterosexuals. This rate of infection is unprecedented, surpassing even the original Big Bang of the late 70's.
Now heading the United Nations AIDS unit, Dr. Peter Piot is unable to sufficiently explain this new and more widespread epidemic.
Dr. Piot admits that sexual transmission alone does not explain this disaster. "People just do not have that much sex. We have to
admit we do not understand it completely" said Piot, who has battled AIDS in Africa since its discovery. As Truth & Reconciliation
hearings and the trial of Wouter "Dr. Death" Basson reveal the terrifying extent of the biological weapons program aimed at the
black population, including "freeze-dried HIV infected blood for use against enemies," perhaps this new AIDS epidemic would be
seen as a blessing by the white supremacists who controlled South Africa through their murderous military regime.
Most African countries still find themselves struggling for true independence against the white colonial powers that once controlled
them overtly, and now control them covertly through the World Trade Organization (WTO), transnational corporations, and the
enormous dept owed to the World Bank. The independence that was granted most African nations in 1960 completely undermined
the vice-like grip of the European aristocratic powers who had controlled all of Africa's natural resources through their various
companies. Minerals, rubber, wood, crude oil, tin, copper, diamonds, gold, etc. are riches not to be given up lightly. It may be no coincidence that the former colonialists' interests are no greater than in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, precisely the
countries hardest hit by the recent rapid and unusual spread of AIDS.
A more disturbing fact is that the vast mountain range of South Africa is named after the Imperial and Royal Dragon Sovereignty:
the Drakensberg Mountains.
Many Africans believe that AIDS is a Western-backed conspiracy. "It's important we don't just dismiss these theories as rantings in
Africa, because many of the problems they point out have valid roots," said Lisa Jacobs, spokeswoman for UNAIDS, headquartered
in Geneva. Zimbabwe's minister of Health, Timothy Stamps, who is white, said in a BBC interview last year that there was "no doubt
in my mind that South African apartheid agents had inoculated our population with diseases such as anthrax, Ebola, and even bubonic plague in the 1970's during Zimbabwe's liberation war."
Additionally, Britain's Guardian newspape reported that American anthropologist Prof. James Neel, on behalf of nuclear & biological weapons designers, intentionally introduced by inoculation a virulent strain of measles into the Yanomami Indians of Venezuela in
the mid-60's. His team then monitored the spread of the disease, which killed thousands, and refused to give medical assistance
to the sick and dying. Cornell University's Professor Terry Turner believes that Neel "was trying to test controversial eugenic
theories like the Nazi scientist Josef Mengele."
The 1960's also saw the Knights of Malta-controlled CIA reaching its most heady heights of power within the American Government system. This was when the CIA began creating propaganda about overpopulation in developing countries, particularly Africa and
its possible consequences for Western economic stability and comfort.
In the light of these facts a solution to all of the unanswered questions in the mysterious case of AIDS would become obvious to
our fictional policeman.
The European power elite find themselves losing control of their most important assets. Through their Rosicrucian secret society connections, Freemasonry and the Knights of Malta, they find their strongest allies in the American CIA, a secretive body who is
still largely unaccountable to the democratic American Congress.
During World War II Nazi physician Dr. Josef Mengele studied the effects of viruses and bacteria on thousands of Auschwitz imprisoned twins to analyse the relationship between disease and racial type. Indeed, being a highly regarded anthropologist, it is known that Mengele spent a period of time in Africa collecting blood and exotic viral samples. Like his mentor and collaborator Dr. Otmar Verschuer
of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, Mengele was obsessed with finding racial differences in human blood. As well as attempting to prove
the biological basis of eugenics theories, Mengele's Auschwitz research was done on behalf of the Nazi hierarchy to serve their bizarre occult beliefs. Pseudo-scientific studies included searching for anti-ageing properties in the blood of virgins, before and after coitus. These studies have been documented in letters to Hitler's leading occultist and SS chief Heinrich Himmler.
Mengele's commercial backers were not only the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Eugenics and Human Heredity, but also pharmaceutical giant Bayer, as highlighted by a
recent lawsuit against Bayer by surviving victims. Revealing the "business as usual"
mentality during the war years, both the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute and Bayer Phamacuticals
were owned by the J.D. Rockefeller/I.G. Farben oil/petro-chemical corporate alliance.
Hence, modern pharmaceutical companies are directly involved in the development of
biological weaponry from its earliest stages, and have subsequently benefited from the
appalling research carried out in the Death Camps.
According to Russia's ex-deputy head of biological weapons Ken Alibek, now working for the US military, during the 1950's US pharmaceutical company Merck and Co. "was incubating lethal viruses on the lung tissue of human fetuses, while their Russian counterparts were clumsily using chicken eggs." At the end of the war Bayer Phamaceuticals was temporarily seized by the Allies,
and many Nazi scientists were recruited to work for Merck & Co. to advance America's biological weapons capability. As a result
of this recruitment, the US military and the CIA had the lead on the Russians, and "viral cancer" was always a major objective, as declassified documents have shown.
In 1969 the US military asked for 10 million dollars from Congress to further its cancer studies by developing:
"A new infective microorganism which could differ in certain important aspects from any known disease-causing organism.
Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend
to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease."
Quoted from the Dept. of Defense Appropriations Hearings, 91st Congress, July 1, 1969, Washington DC as part of the Special
Virus Cancer Program (SVCP).
The HIV virus, a mutation of the monkey leukemia virus SIV, could not be a better fulfillment of this brief. Following DNA tests,
leading AIDS scientist Dr. David Ho placed the common genetic ancestor of the modern AIDS viruses somewhere around "the
1940's or early 50's" - the exact time that Mengele and his Nazi backers, then the CIA and its numerous military contractors
were conducting their genetic engineering research. However, the transference of SIV to man would not have required any
great leap in technology, as recent fears of new diseases from organ transplantation testifies. Not surprisingly, Israeli scientists
led by Dr. Alexander Kalinkovich at the International AIDS Conference 2000 in South Africa announced that their latest research
shows that HIV may be race-specific to black Africans.
It is accepted that HIV/AIDS was initially spread in Africa by Roman Catholic missionary hospitals and their re-use of "dirty needles". These hospitals regularly get donations of medical supplies/vaccines directly from the Roman Catholic order of the Knights of Malta,
via its members within the pharmaceutical industry. Since the 1970's Knights of Malta-supported aid organizations such as
AmeriCares or Knightsbridge International have provided medical supplies to needy countries including South Africa, Haiti, and
Cambodia - countries which are now hardest hit by HIV/AIDS.
When historians/journalists Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh & Henry Lincoln were investigating their book The Messianic Legacy
about the political links between secret societies, the Vatican and intelligence agencies, they based much of their study upon the
Catholic secret society The Priory of Sion. From 1963 to 1981 the Grand Master of Sion was a Catholic abbot, Francois Ducand-Bourget, who prior to this appointment was the Magistral Chaplain of the Knights of Malta. Michael Baigent's contact within Sion was its new
Grand Master Pierre Plantard de St. Clair, of the Sinclair "Grail family" of Roslin, Edinburgh, which coincidentally is the global center
of genetic engineering. Starting in 1982 Plantard indicated that 1984 was to be a critical year in the plans of Sion. In 1984 he said "everything was in place, nothing could stop it now, the time had come to move on, and nothing could now stop it." When asked
was the present Pope a potential ally or adversary in whatever schemes were afoot, Plantard replied "a rapprochement had been reached with the Vatican. Rome would cooperate. Certain concessions had been necessary in return, but they were essentially
nomina."
Nothing unusual occurred in 1984, apart from in April when the discovery of the HIV virus that causes AIDS was announced to
the world.
Also at this time Plantard de St. Clair suddenly announced his resignation from Sion, not only as its Grand Master but from the
order itself, after 41 years a member. He did so because he could not approve "certain maneuvers" performed by his "English
and American brethren." The Priory of Sion is a secret order of the European Holy Grail bloodline families, and likely the authors
of the infamous Protocols of the Learned Elders of Sion, that were directly responsible for inciting fervent anti-Semitism that led
to the Holocaust. Sion's members include prominent figures of the Knights of Malta, and neo-Nazi organizations with links to South Africa's former apartheid regime. Africa is of prime importantance to Sion's members - a 1959 article written by Plantard de St. Clair
in Sion's internally circulated publication Circuit, stresses the need for a solution to the African independence movement, and proposes
a "United States of Euro-Africa... this being the sole stable foundation on which peace can be constructed." Obviously his elite brethren didn't agree, as recent documentation proves Knight of Malta/CIA chief Allen Dulles ordered the assassination of the Congo's first democratically elected President. The Anglo-American contingent, the Knights Templar and the Knights of Malta within the Order of
Sion, swiftly deposed Plantard de St. Clair when they found out about his loose-tongued meetings with journalists Baigent, Leigh & Lincoln at such a crucial time in their covert endeavors.
Taking into account all these facts, our fictional policeman might ask himself what the motive for such devilry could be. He would soon discover it was the same motive that the "Secret Church" and the orthodox Roman Catholic Church have always pursued:
According to the white supremacist dogma of the Rosicrucian Secret Church, the "Negro and other sub-races" must die and be reincarnated to allow for the evolution of Man's consciousness.
Rosicrucian beliefs date back to ancient Egypt, and ironically its influence can be seen in the much criticized statement by Israel's ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Ovadia Yosef who recently said "the Holocaust victims were reincarnations of the souls of sinners... they had to be reincarnated in order to atone."
Initiated Rosicrucian Adolf Hitler said "The greatest and most ruthless decisions will have to be made. A barbaric measure for the unfortunate who is struck by it, but a blessing for his fellow man and posterity, t | |
