Birdstorm Update

Experts fear bird flu movie may spur panic

I was thinking the exact same thing. Except I was thinking that the panic would stem from the terrible plot and atrocious acting. From the article -

"I worry that this could very well be portrayed by many as ultimate example of sensationalism..."

Funny, I thought the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) has the market on that one.

The Real Effect
What is frightening is the following information -

Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt has been holding meetings in the 50 states and territories to convince businesses, educators and individuals to prepare for a pandemic that could throw 40 percent of the workforce out of action for weeks on end.

Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Calvin Johnson and state Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff announced the launch of their Web site, http://www.pandemicflu.state.pa.us/, to coincide with the TV film.

So what we have is a non event that is being turned into a cataclysmic TV event that is piggybacked by the government. Now that's good policy...

Until tomorrow...

This is not a recession, it is a depression. And a massive one at that. We are not at the bottom, we are on gaining momentum for the next plunge down. If you thought the last drop was bad, this one is going to strike fear into the hearts of men everywhere.

Look for Roberts to hold a conservative line for a while, disarming most arguments against his nomination. Then when key arguments come to SCOTUS, I believe he will suddenly become a Sandra Day and hand us over to the globalists.

Western Europe contracts massively, putting extraordinary pressure on the Euro. But the call out of Belgium isn't about revoking the Euro, rather about the preservation of the European Union and the need to 'pull together'. I would expect that we could begin to see propaganda calling for a United Europe in the face of "x" (economic crisis, terror, war). Ultimately in the endgame, foreign creditors feel the massive pinch as they try to protect their investments, but the lack of a favorable response by the people will lead to war with the far east, but not yet.
