Swine Flu

This is too impor­tant to ignore. The U.S. mil­i­tary intends to estab­lish regional teams in order to assist civilian author­i­ties in the event of a Swine Flu out­break this fall. The request was made by Gen. Victor Ren­uart, head of U.S. Northern Com­mand, which, inci­den­tally, was the unit that signed an agree­ment with Cana­dian author­i­ties in 2008 to share troops with Canada in case of civil emer­gen­cies. Defense Sec­re­tary Robert Gates must per­son­ally approve the plan. If Gates signs the “exe­cu­tion order,” troops would roll upon the sole authority of the Pres­i­dent and Commander-in-Chief Obama. Remember that Gates is a member of the Tri­lat­eral Com­mis­sion and a ded­i­cated glob­alist. It is simply unimag­in­able that there are not enough civilian health care workers to handle any health issues in this country, including the very mild Swine Flu that is cap­turing all the head­lines these days. So, why the intro­duc­tion of mil­i­tary troops? CNN sug­gests they can help with the “testing of large num­bers of viral sam­ples from infected patients.” Since when does the Mil­i­tary train its troops to test viral sam­ples? Hog­wash. Unless the Admin­is­tra­tion fig­ures that things will get hos­tile toward the gov­ern­ment, there can be no pos­sible reason fed­eral troops are needed.
