Many Thai J-Rock fans blamed Thai artists that they copied Japanese songs. In fact, they should believe in ability of Thai people, or say just, coincident or Japanese artists copy Thai things. Although one case is true, that does not mean other million cases have to be just like the first one.

One of my friend that I met when I just had been a J-Rock fan, always told me that a Thai band called, Giwa copies his beloved Luna Sea. I was so young, and I did believe him. I believe many things flood around world wide web. Thai J-Rock fans keep post this kind of thing up. They matched short parts of some Japanese songs and Thai songs, and they said that Thai artist copies Japanese artists. Most of the parts they matched are less than 10 seconds, and it is very easy that musicians can think about the same thing. It is coincident rather that coping.

Thai people are not stupid, because they can own many copyrights they make by themselves. Thai people can work so well if a reward/award is waiting for them, such as world robot competition, or sport tournament. Naturally, Thai people do not like to step up without motivation. Thai musicians have a lot of motivation, especially pop-rock artists after 2000. Pop-Rock in Thailand have been popular again after 20-30 years. Between 2 eras, Thai people consumed much of sweet-pop songs. Many bands was founded in late 10 years, and many old bands did re-union. The boys want to be cool, especially for the sight of girls. They created a unique style of Thai Pop-Rock. Many songs may sound similar, because those kids grew up with pop songs. Some people are different, because they listen to other things, such as Thai country songs and other foreigners’ things.

I am the one who really like Thai country songs. If we do not count the style of voice and Thai instrument, many fast songs can be popular in Alternative-Rock/Pop world. Both sound very similar. Many Thai people also listen to Rock n’ Roll artist from the United States and Europe. They get the influence directly from the original rock bands, and they do not need to past J-Rock artist. Some Thai people also listen to J-Rock and do cover, but there is less percent.

Clash is another band that Thai J-Rock fans blames that they mimic “Forever Love” of X Japan in their song called, “Nangfa Naijai” (Angle in Mind). I do know both songs so well, and I cannot find that Clash really copies that songs. They are same type of music, but not the same song. Although Clash did cover of L’Arc~en~Ciel, it does not mean that they do not have brain to compose their own music. I am a Punk fan, and many Punk songs are similar. Let’s listen to sample of DecayDance things. They are similar and they are good!

Another important conflict is the song call, “Ter Mai Kir Tai” (You Have Never Died) of a Thai band called, Two (they have 2 members.). My parent keeps that albums, too. The famous guy named, Tong. He helped around many projects. Thai people know that he is really nice. Right now he is older, but he just looks the same. I do not know if this nice guy hears what some people are railing him. I pass around the websites, many Thai X Japan fans railed “Two”. Unbelievable, I saw a guy wrote, “Two-Kuy”. “Kuy” (ควย) is the rudest word in Thai Language. He blamed Thai artists who did not know what X Japan was about. The company always manages things for pop artists, and the only thing that the pop artists need to have is the great performance.

I did look through the track list of that album of “Two”, and style of X Japan songs. (It is 2 years, I was their fan, my early high school.) The melody is weird for Japanese songs, but the song composer is weird in “Two” albums. I could not say, but the news already said that. They said, Thai company has to pay for Yoshiki. I do not want to believe. It is just the late visits of Yoshiki in Thailand. So,… My early high school time, a senior guy who was a friend of “Yai” (Yai was known as a big fan of X Japan in our school.) told me about this conflict. “Two did release “Ter Mai Kir Tai” before X Japan release Say Anything”. If I can go back to that moment, I will never show the goat hand to him. I did,.., I did that hand. He ran behind me and tried to kill me. Where was my soul of Thai person? I had had it when I was a boy scout. I did respect King Rama VI. I love his firmly goal to make Thai people to love each other as one big family.

The news was unbelievable for many people. That song sound quite like Thai songs, and the lyrics can fit in so well. No matter what the reality is, but if there is no that song, many Thai people will never be fans of X Japan.

There is another conflict of Neo Universe of L’Arc en Ciel, but that is a little thing. I think it is coincident, because it is just a small part of the song. Most of Thai L’Arc en Ciel fans are still young and rich, and they do not really care to talk about the past, because they look up the new stuff, and they talked a lot. I have many friends who like this band, that is why I can say. Like, once I met Kaun with her L’Arc book in a school bus, and we just began to talk although we had never known each other. We talked a lot. It is familiar in American people, but unusual for Thai people. (I am smiling.)

The main thing I would like to say is, Thai people always look down themselves. Many foreign songs were composed after Thai songs. Whenever they sounds the same, Thai people will say that Thai copied those foreigners.

There are other cases, such as Peace Maker’s songs and Josh Groban’s, and also the hair style and dress style of Thai teenager. Although the idea cannot be Copyrights, people keeps railing that style of dressing is wrong things. This may be only one attitude in a corner of Thailand, because most people do not care (me, too). They dress up and they want to be cool.

Let’s see the side of Thailand. What the songs that Thai artists composed before the foreigner and they sound the same! I am an audience and also an artist, and I will never say that they mimic each other. Many people can think about the same thing. The one part of melody or similar style cannot prove that that artist is the copier.

“There is no unique thing in the world. Everything you think that it is new, someone has done it before.”, Jiyoun Kim said.

http://www.imeem.com/artists/cobra_starship/music/xwnpOen5/cobra-starship-pop-punk-is-sooooo-05/
This Paradox song is in album “Free Style” and was released before Pop Punk is so hi’05 about 2 years.

Both Paradox and Cobra Starship are Punk, so no confused that they can think about the same thing.

For the international world, Slipknot is more popular than Paradox, but in Thailand, Paradox is more popular. I do not think that both will prefer to listen to each other. Paradox also released this song before Slipknot, too.

First time A7X came into the music industrial, they were considered as a metal band, but now, they are considered as a punk band. Every Japanese fan of Zi:Kill know that Zi:Kill is punk. And very important for us to know that both Zi:Kill and Avenged Sevenfold have a super cool guitar solo. Zi:Kill may do not that great in Lonely, but all stuff in their Rocket album are so amazing! (Pick up the songs that Ken did the music)

Paradox is so great at their show. Almost all songs of Paradox sound more modern than Hide’s. Paradox tend to be Alternative Rock, which is really popular in Western world such the United States and the United Kingdom. Hide is more into underground alternative rock, which can be found in both LA and NY. Although Hide did a lot of underground style, those songs are not popular. Hide’s songs which are popular are something modern; such as In Motion, Tell Me, Lemoned I Scream, Ever Free, Post and Honey Blade.

Rong Rean Kong Nu is so classic, too. This song is very old, but still catching people’s hearts. If you know Thai language, you will cry since the first time you listen to it. It is strange that The Academy is… has the same stuff. The world is so coincident. I played Rong Rean Kong Nu on Harmonica, too. This song is about children who have a hard time to get to school. They lived on the mountain and their school is really faraway. They have to walk step by step. They love to go to school. This song reflect the city society that many children do not like the go to school, although they are so rich and very easy to go to school.

I do not know about their copyrights, because they do not blame any people who re-play their songs, too. Zi:Kill is so fun. Tusk draw “Z” during this show. (I am smiling) If you let me compare about “For those about to Rock” and “Rocket”, you can be sure that I do love Rocket. The guitarist of Zi:Kill always have a wonderful line. His solo is always optimistic and never ever boring.

Your favorite artist does not have to be the first one who create the things. We should be very happy that someone thinks the same as our favorite artists. And now, we start to listen to the new things!! Our world is not just a box that other people cannot touch. We will never look down other people just because we want to praise our heroes.

A 6-8 page paper to write on the epidemic “Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever” for English 191 by Monday – Exhausting to say the least. I deserve a break to blog a little bit, I’d think. Last night (Friday) was semi-eventful. Kaela and Dirim [Friends from UMD] came up and Carl, Mike and I (+ Dirim and Kaela) all went to Perkins really late and hung out for a bit. Carl got a bit sick so they walked home before Mike and I. Immediately after we went back to our dorm (Shoemaker) and watched “Howl’s moving castle” with Nathan and Jena, his girlfriend. I fell asleep so they decided to call it a night.

~Today I’ve done nothing but work on that paper, oh well. Nathan gone til late. Carl is homeworking. Leila is with her sister, Emily. Maybe we’ll all do something later tonight. For now, I’m going to try and do nothing.Thanksgiving break is on Wednesday of this week! I’ll get to go home, [work on homework], see Hannah, Amelia and Leah! Eat food that isn’t from bags or that doesn’t come in mass supply…Ahh, I’d say that break is really nice.

The bushmeat trade is the illegal, over-hunting of wildlife for meat and income.

Already in West and Central Africa this trade has resulted in declines and local extinctions of many wildlife species and the economic, cultural and ecosystem services they provide. In addition, a number of human health threats have emerged from the trade in bushmeat including linkages to  HIV/AIDS, ebola and the threat of anthrax.

Bushmeat trade is not regulated or managed by any authority. Economic benefits from the trade go mainly to hunters and traders. If current trends continue, future generations of citizens in Africa will not have the opportunity to access benefits from wildlife. Using wildlife to meet protein and income demands cannot be supported in the long term.

The immediate threat of loss of economic opportunity, cultural and ecological services, and other values to a wider community must be addressed today.

(Taken From: www. bushmeatnetwork.org)

Here are some images from the Bushmeat Trade for you to get an idea of what we are talking about:

Des laboratoires fédéraux, dont celui qui manipule des échantillons de la grippe A (H1N1), ont du mal à retracer les virus et les bactéries qu’ils manipulent.

Une vérification récente de l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada (ASPC) conclut que des contrôles déficients dans des établissements fédéraux pourraient mener à la disparition d’agents pathogènes dangereux ou à un usage non autorisé.

“Les systèmes de suivi et les procédures actuellement en usage rendent difficilement compte des agents pathogènes manipulés en laboratoire”, affirment les auteurs du document.

Les découvertes de l’agence fédérale, un peu plus tôt cette année, concernent une période durant laquelle des scientifiques du Laboratoire national de microbiologie, à Winnipeg, étudiaient des centaines d’échantillons de ce qui s’est révélé être le virus de la grippe porcine.

La vérification souligne que le problème est en partie attribuable au fait que chaque laboratoire a sa propre manière de conserver ses échantillons.

Ainsi, le Laboratoire national de microbiologie a perdu la trace, un peu plus tôt cette année, de 22 flacons contenant du matériel biologique.

Un scientifique aurait volé des flacons contenant le gène du virus Ebola en janvier. Mais la direction du Laboratoire national de microbiologie n’a appris la disparition des flacons qu’en mai, soit lorsque les autorités américaines ont arrêté l’ancien employé à un poste frontalier séparant le Manitoba et le Dakota du Nord.

La disparition de ces fioles est longtemps passée inaperçue parce que des dizaines de milliers de ces flacons contenant du matériel non infectieux sont conservés dans les réfrigérateurs et congélateurs du laboratoire.

Le chef du Laboratoire national de microbiologie, le docteur Frank Plummer, avait alors assuré que les agents pathogènes à très haut risque étaient soumis à un suivi très rigoureux et que les employés les manipulant travaillaient selon des normes de sécurité strictes.

Cependant, la sécurité n’est pas aussi serrée en ce qui concerne les matériels non infectieux.

La vérification de l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada, datée du 25 juin, révèle que les laboratoires suivent des lignes directrices en matière de biosécurité, mais ajoute que ces mesures pourraient être améliorées.

“Des études supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour s’assurer que les échantillons destinés à être manipulés en laboratoire soient rigoureusement suivis, de leur livraison à l’ASPC jusqu’à ce qu’ils soient transférés ou détruits,” peut-on lire dans le document.

La vérification recommande à l’agence fédérale d’établir une norme pour le suivi et la comptabilisation des agents pathogènes.

La vérification a également établi que l’ASPC devrait améliorer sa manière de s’assurer que les employés de laboratoires aient un accès approprié aux zones contrôlées et aux renseignements protégés.

Hihihihih, vous vous rendez compte ” Un scientifique aurait volé des flacons contenant le gène du virus Ebola en janvier. Mais la direction du Laboratoire national de microbiologie n’a appris la disparition des flacons qu’en mai, soit lorsque les autorités américaines ont arrêté l’ancien employé à un poste frontalier séparant le Manitoba et le Dakota du Nord.”
Elle est pas bonne celle là, le virus ebola volé par un scientifique !!! Une fois de plus on nage en plein délire !!

Et combien ne se sont pas fait arreter ?

C’est du grand n’importe quoi cette histoire, c’est à croire que les endroits ou sont stockés ces virus et autres pathogènes sont de véritable passoire avec aucun controle rigoureux, alors qu’ils sont capable de ravager la planète.Souvenez vous de l’inventaire de fort detrick : ” An inventory of potentially deadly pathogens at Fort Detrick’s infectious disease laboratory found more than 9,000 vials that had not been accounted for, Army officials said yesterday, raising concerns that officials wouldn’t know whether dangerous toxins were missing.” http://www.washingtonpost.com

Cet article fait peur, le Canada n’a vraiment pas pris la gestion de ces dangereux pathogènes au sérieux, c’est le moins qu’on puisse dire ! Et c’est super grave !

Et après on parle des labos de l’ancienne Union Soviétique, alors que nous ne sommes pas foutus de surveiller les notres…
En tout cas sachez que ces nouvelles maladies qui émergent un peu partout dans le monde viennent bien de quelque part, et moi je ne crois pas au hasard en ce temps troublés…
Les prochaines maladies toucheront les cultures majeures, histoire de créer des famines terribles, les émeutes de la faim de l’année passée n’ont été qu’un exercice en grandeur nature pour voir ou se situaient les prix plancher, ceux qui mènent à l’emeute…

As DSTs são doenças que afetam o cérebro e são transmitidas através de contato corporal exagerado.

A principal DST de hoje é o HIV(Human Immunodeficientia Vector), uma doença que mata muitas pessoas através dos rompimentos dos tendões dos orgãos.

O HIV(também chamado de AIDS) surgiu na África do Sul em pequenos roedores e hoje é uma das doenças que mais mata no mundo.

Os EUA tentaram combater essa doença, que se manifestou principalmente nos comunistas da região, mas essas tentativas(como as campanhas do grupo Ku Klux Klan) foram em vão.

O herpes é uma DST que se manifesta no lábio, principalmente, e nada mais é que uma inflamação nos nervos.

O ebola é atualmente, no entanto, a pior DST conhecida, pois não tem cura, e demora meses para se manifestar. Os principais sintomas são dor de cabeça, diarréia e corrimento amarelo.

Academia do Texas honra um professor que quer que 90% da raça humana seja exterminada pelo Ebola (Fonte: Montfort)

O que aconteceria se um renomado cientista ecologista evolucionista dissesse a centenas de seus colegas que 90 por cento da raça humana precisava ser exterminada pela exposição ao Ebola ou algum outro vírus mortal?
Esta é a história sendo contada por Forrest Mims III, um membro da Academia de Ciências do Texas, diretor de sua seção de ciência ambiental e editor da Citizen Scientist.

A palestra que Mims escutou foi proferida por Eric R. Pianka, uma especialista em lagartos da Universidade do Texas. Ela é contada em detalhes na última edição da Citizen Scientist.

“Não somos melhores do que bactérias,” Mims citando o que disse Pianka em sua condenação à raça humana, que, segundo ele, esta superpopulando a Terra.

A única forma de salvar o planeta para o resto das espécies é reduzir a população humana a 10 por cento de seu número atual.
Ele então mostrou as soluções para reduzir a população mundial na forma de um slide reproduzindo os Quatro Cavaleiros do Apocalipse,” escreve Mims. “Guerra e Fome não funcionarão, ele explicou. Ao invés disso, a Peste oferece a maneira mais eficiente e rápida de matar os bilhões que logo devem morrer para resolver a crise de população. Pianka então mostrou um slide que apresentava fileiras de crânios humano, um dos quis tinham luzes vermelhas piscando na cavidade ocular. AIDS não é um matador eficiente, ele explicou, porque é muito lento. Seu candidato favorito para eliminar 90 por cento da população mundial é uma versão do Ebola com contágio pelo ar (Ebola reston), porque ele é altamente letal e mata em dias, ao invés de anos. Contudo, o professor Pianka não mencionou que as vítimas do Ebola morrem de forma lenta e torturante, pois o vírus inicia uma cascata de calamidades biológicas dentro da vítima que terminam por liquefazer os órgãos internos.

Pianka anota no syllabus online de sua classe de Diversidade e Ecologia que a forma letal do Ebola – Ebola Zaire – que matou nove em cada dez pessoas infectadas atualmente, só se espalha pelo contato direto com sangue infectado, enquanto o Ebola reston, seu parente próximo, mata apenas macacos, e é um vírus aéreo. A evolução, diz ele, irá produzir com o tempo uma forma de vírus aéreo fatal para os humanos.

Mims conta que quando Pianka terminou seus comentários a platéia formada de colegas cientistas e estudantes explodiu em um aplauso prolongado.

Durante a sessão de perguntas e respostas, a audiência deu risadas de aprovação quando Pianka ofereceu a gripe aviária como outro veículo para conseguir sua meta. Ela também sorriu quando ele sugeriu que era hora de esterilizar todo mundo na Terra.

“Que tipo de recepção você receberia se tivesse apresentado essas idéias para outro público que não nos representasse?” Perguntou um dos membros da platéia.

“Eu falo para convertidos!” Respondeu Pianka.

Mims disse que ele elogiou o estado policial na China que executa uma política de uma criança.

“Pessoas mais espertas têm menos crianças” Mims cita o que disse Pianka.

Prosseguindo a seção de perguntas e resposta, diz Mims “quase todos cientistas, professores e colegas estudantes colocaram-se a seus pés e aplaudiram vigorosamente o homem que efusivamente endossou a eliminação de 90 por cento da população humana. Alguns até o saudaram. Dúzias cercaram o professor ao final para dar-lhe parabéns e fazer perguntas”.

Mims relata que cinco horas depois, a Academia de Ciências do Texas presenteou Pianka com uma placa em reconhecimento por ter sido nomeado o Cientista Destacado do Texas de 2006.

“Quando o salão de banquete encheu com mais de 400 pessoas respondendo com aplausos entusiasmados, eu sai em protesto”, escreveu.

Mims, um autor de eletrônica, escreveu cerca de 60 livros que venderão mais de 7,5 milhões de cópias.

Se alguém acha que toda a informação é falsa, recomendo assistir o vídeo em que Eric R. Pianka tenta se defender da acusação de Forrest Mims. O problema é que sua desculpa é totalmente esfarrapada. Infelizmente, o vídeo é em inglês, sem legendas.

It’s hard to know what to believe with all the conflicting information out there since the Swine flu reared it’s ugly little snout back in April.  All I know is, we’ve just started the flu season, and the propaganda campaign makes me feel like we’ve got an Ebola virus on our hands.   I don’t know about you, but I’d prefer not to hemorrhage blood from my eyeballs.  Now it would be kind of fucked up of me to imagine a world free of the shitbags who come down with the Swine flu, so I’m instead going to tackle the virus itself.

We’d have one less thing to blame on the Mexicans.
• The CDC would’ve had plenty of time to focus on their Scrabble games on Facebook.  Priorities people!
We’d have one less death to wish upon Heidi and Spencer.
A whole new generation of Howard Hughes would never have been created, carrying around a Costco size bottle of Purell everywhere they go.
We could still laugh at the Japanese for wearing those facial masks everywhere.  Jokes on us I guess.
The Avian flu wouldn’t feel so neglected.
The Jews wouldn’t have the satisfaction of telling all the goyum, “We told you those pigs were bad news…”
• Parents wouldn’t be considering sending their children to school in  hazmat suits.
Employees would have one less valid excuse to not come to work.
The Republicans would have one less thing to blame Obama for.

We’ve got enough shit to worry about in this world with terrorism, cancer, and Glenn Beck.  Now we have to be afraid that we’re going to die because some asshole didn’t wash his hands after dropping a deuce?  And if that weren’t bad enough, now they’re saying there’s a shortage of the H1N1 vaccine.  Are you trying to start a fucking panic?  I mean I don’t think it’s a coincidence that pandemic sounds a lot like panic-demic.

At this point, I welcome a case of the normal, run of the mill flu, how sick is that?  It would be lovely to be living in a world where I didn’t have to fear the Swine flu causing me to be hospitalized.  Unfortunately, with seven fucking months of flu season to go, I’ve decided to reevaluate my strategy and am building my own plastic bubble to live in.  See you in May.

But one has to have dreams right?

Nathan Wolfe este unul dintre puţinii aventurieri care călătoresc prin junglele subsahariene, prin pieţele de fructe exotice din Asia de Sud-Est şi în alte colţuri îndepărtate ale lumii pentru a găsi potenţialii viruşi ucigaşi înainte ca aceştia să ne găsească pe noi (…) “Vrem să prindem viruşii exact în punctul în care aceştia trec la populaţia umană”.

Cercetătorii nu ştiu cel mai important element fundamental despre aceşti viruşi: numărul lor (…)

Din cele 335 de noi boli infecţioase raportate între 1940 şi 2004, 60,3% provin de la animale, cel mai adesea sălbatice, arată un studiu din 2008. Virusul care provoacă SIDA a apărut iniţial la cimpanzei. SARS (sindrom acut respirator acut sever) provine probabil de la liliecii cu potcoavă. Se pare că şi Ebola a apărut mai întâi la lilieci, înainte de a se muta la maimuţe şi apoi la oameni (…)

Wolfe visează la o reţea mondială de zeci şi zeci de puncte de monitorizare în zonele fierbinţi în care apar bolile (…) El speră să creeze o bază de date a viruşilor animali care au potenţialul de a trece la populaţia umană în următoarele decenii.

Ukrainassa leviävää tautia ei ole edelleen varmistettu. Sikainfluenssaepidemiaa Ukrainassa ei toistaiseksi ole, laboratoriavarmennettuja tapauksia ollut vain muutama. Mutta joidenkin raporttien mukaan kyseessä voi olla pilkkukuume, maassa liikkuvien huhujen mukaan mahdollisesti ebola viruksen aiheuttama verenvuotokuume, sillä raporttien mukaan joidenkin tautia sairastavien keuhkojen lämpötila on noussut 55C asti, heidän sisälmykset ovat siis periatteessa sulanneet.

Keuhkorutto tapauksia on myös raportoitu. Keuhkorutto alkoi myös kiinalaisessa kaupungissa elokuun alussa, voiko tämä kenties liittyä siihen?

Jotkut spekuloivat myös että tämä epidemia on liioiteltu tammikuussa alkavien Ukrainalaisten vaalien takia, estääkseen mielenosoituksia ja opposition kampanijointia, ja mahdollisesti lykkäämään vaaleja kokonaan.

In categoria ‘Smecheri de Dorobanti’ il putem situa si pe Bogdan Sida Ionescu. Nimeni altul decat iubitul lui Eba, devenit mai celebru decat era datorita relatiei in care s-a varat cu varf si indesat [...] Mai cu seama ca la orizont sade sa apara si fructul dragosteai intre Sida si Eba, adica un copil.

In aceeasi propozitie SIMPLA e vorba de ebola, bashini, sida. Mai liseste un cacat, da daca il pun pe bok nas s-a rezolvat.

Add Timothy Hampton to the List of Dead Scientists in The New World Order. 

A British nuclear expert who fell from the 17th floor of a United Nations building did not commit suicide and may have been hurled to his death, says a doctor who carried out a second post-mortem examination.  Timothy Hampton, 47, a scientist involved in monitoring nuclear activity, was found dead last week at the bottom of a stairwell in Vienna….  Under a year ago, an American died at the IAEA in strikingly similar circumstances, his body being found at the bottom of a stairwell.

Un virus cuya secuencia genética es bastante homóloga al virus del Ébola, que, hasta la actualidad, se restringía a ciertos países africanos, se ha descubierto entre las 27 especies de murciélagos que habitan en cuevas del territorio español.

   La investigadora del Instituto de Salud Carlos III de Madrid, Ana Isabel Negredo, avanzó este viernes este “importante descubrimiento” durante la conferencia de clausura del III Curso Internacional sobre Zoonosis y Patógenos Emergentes de Importancia para la Salud Pública, organizado por la Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) de Valencia, en colaboración con la Universidad CEU-Cardenal Herrera, según informo la entidad universitaria en un comunicado.

   El aumento de la mortandad entre algunas poblaciones de murciélagos de la Península Ibérica llevó a un equipo de investigadores del Instituto de Salud Carlos III a estudiar las posibles causas, teniendo en cuenta que, en 2005, había aparecido en África el primer caso de virus de Ébola que estuviera alojado en un murciélago fructívoro.

   “Los murciélagos fructívoros de África y los murciélagos que habitan en España son muy diferentes” afirmó Ana Negredo, quien añadió que, por este motivo, el equipo de investigadores que empezó a secuenciar genéticamente el virus hallado en murciélagos del norte de la Península Ibérica “se llevó una gran sorpresa al descubrir componentes similares al Ébola africano”.

   La secuenciación del gen de este nuevo virus no se ha completado todavía, ya que, para hacerlo, se necesita un aislamiento que, actualmente, no se puede llevar a cabo en ningún laboratorio de España. Por esta razón, se está negociando con el Instituto Pasteur, que cuenta con las instalaciones adecuadas.

   “De momento, nuestra sospecha es que no se trata de un virus patógeno”, manifestó la especialista.  El virus del Ébola, descubierto en África en 1976, es uno de los más agresivos que se conocen en la actualidad, ya que puede matar a una persona en pocos días por fiebres hemorrágicas. En el continente africano, ha aniquilado tribus enteras.

   El decano de la Facultad de Veterinaria de la Universidad CEU-Cardenal Herrera y director del curso que se imparte esta semana en la UIMP de Valencia, Santiago Vega, indicó que “el 70 por ciento de las enfermedades de los humanos son de origen zoonótico, como el Ébola; el 60 por ciento de esas enfermedades son emergentes o reemergentes, y el 80 por ciento de los agentes infecciosos se podrían utilizar en guerras bacteriológicas y causar verdaderos desastres en ciudades muy pobladas”.

   Otras enfermedades zoonóticas, que están empezando a tener una incidencia “notable” en Europa y en Estados Unidos, a causa de la globalización y del cambio climático, son la enfermedad de Chagas, bastante extendida en España por el alto índice de inmigrantes procedentes de Ecuador y Bolivia; y el Dengue, conocido como ‘la enfermedad del viajero’ porque la están propagando, principalmente, turistas que viajan a países exóticos.

Excepcional vídeo en 15 partes del Dr Leonard Horowitz denunciando las manipulaciones de las empresas farmacéuticas, los gobiernos, las agencias de salud pública y los medios de comunicación para crear y difundir enfermedades creadas en laboratorios, bien con fines meramente lucrativos e incluso eugenésicos.

Subtitulado al español, es de indispensable visionado para comprender la realidad de las enfermedades infecciosas. Probablemente el mejor trabajo de investigación y denuncia llevado a cabo por un hombre con 16 libros en su haber, 3 de ellos BEST SELLER en USA.

Dejo los enlaces a los videos (ver las pestañas para ver de los temas que trata el documental):

Your face also breaks mirrors too.

By Shawn Kennedy, MA, RN, interim editor-in-chief

Reuters reported Thursday that there is no Ebola outbreak after all in the southern Sudan. Rather, the rumors were started by local administrators and representatives of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) “to draw attention . . . to the acute lack of medicine” in the area, according to Kuol Diem Kuol, an SPLA spokesperson.  According to Reuters, the false rumors that 20 soldiers and three of their wives had died were successful in bringing health personnel to the area to investigate . . . and to provide the desired medicines.

I can’t help thinking that conditions must be really really bad if the Sudanese people went to the lengths of staging a hoax to receive health care. After all, this is a people that has withstood some of the worst brutality in recent memory from civil wars and the genocide in the Darfur region. The United Nations estimates that over 300,000 have been killed and over 2.5 million internally displaced since 2003.

And we can probably expect more violence and death—a press briefing this past Monday by the UN secretary general noted that UNAMID, the joint African Union and UN mission in Darfur, is expressing “grave concern” about a military buildup in northern Sudan that may indicate “a new cycle of armed confrontation.”

In March, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for the Sudanese president, Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir, for crimes against humanity and war crimes. His response was to ban the 10 largest humanitarian agencies from Sudan. These agencies were for many the only source of health care and food.

I have to admire the ingenuity of those who perpetrated the hoax, whether or not the hoax had government approval or will instead mean severe reprisals for those behind it. Knowing how little regard their government has for its citizens, they made sure the rumors involved dead soldiers.

Meanwhile the world community stands by and does what? Despite Barack Obama’s campaign criticism of the Bush administration’s “normalization” of relations with the Sudanese government, early this week the Obama administration presented its own strategy in the form of a “menu of incentives and disincentives” for the Sudanese government—rather than more aggressive measures that could force real change.

L’evoluzione della specie.

L’accesso libero alla scienza e alla conoscenza.

Queste sono due delle cose in cui credo fermamente.

Credo anche che uno dei doveri di chi ha avuto la possibilità (fortuna?) di studiare e conoscere più cose degli altri cerchi di spiegarle agli altri.

Per cui oggi amerei rispolverare i miei studi e darvi una lettura di questo emblema dell’informazione italiana: il TG1.

Poniamo il caso di essere in una famiglia riunita per il “sacro” pranzo domenicale (come avviene per il 73% degli italiani almeno per due volte al mese… dati del Centro Studi dell’Accademia Italiana e disponibili qui).
Tirando ad indovinare poniamo che la famiglia si trovi davanti alla tv (cosa che avviene nel 73,6% dei casi nelle famiglie con bambini… come potete consultare in questa ricerca, datata 2007, pubblicata sul “Giornale Scientifico” e i cui risultati possono essere letti qui).
Praticamente avremmo 5 milioni e 120 mila (come da dati Auditel leggibili qui).

E queste persone ad un certo punto sono state informate di quanto segue:

Servizio del TG1 di Domenica 11 ottobre 2009 ore 13:30

L’elemento su cui vorrei focalizzarmi non è tanto il cosa viene detto ma il tono e il messaggio veicolato dalle immagini.

La voce del giornalista parte subito bassa e patita –> Dice a chi l’ascolta di stare attenti perché c’è un vero pericolo.

Quel che dice per cominciare il suo servizio serve ancora di più a creare enfasi, un incipit degno di un trailer horror: “In piena notte, in totale isolamento” –> Senso comune, nonni e paure ancestrali vogliono che la notte sia il momento in cui avvengono le cose peggiori.

Poi il racconto prosegue: “Nell’hangar[...] ci si prepara: tute anti-contaminazione, mascherine, una barella speciale. “

Le immagini catturate dalle telecamere ben pronte a documentare il grave pericolo, accompagnano degnamente la narrazione

Spero possiate apprezzare come, senza sapere ancora nulla di chi ci sia sull’aereo, si venga informati che “il rischio di contaminazione è altissimo“. L’interpretazione magistrale sfuma la voce sul termine “altissimo” a cui fa seguire un secondo tondo tondo di silenzio (in un totale di 65 secondi è tantissimo) –> La pausa aumenta ancora di più il livello di preoccupazione di chi ascolta

Passato il silenzio ecco un informazione importante: abbiamo il chi della notizia: “Un senegalese di 44 anni non può e non deve entrare in contatto con il mondo esterno.” Il mio grassetto evidenzia l’aumento del tono di voce del giornalista. A mo’ di imperativo categorico il giornalista ci sottolinea che questo signore di mezza età africano sarebbe estremamente dannoso se lo incontrassimo per strada –> Intepreto il vero contenuto del messaggio, che suonerebbe più o meno così: “Ehi voi che li incrociate ogni giorno per strada, sui mezzi, toccate frutta e verdura negli stessi supermercati, ehi dico proprio a voi. Ci pensate a quante malattie potrebbero portare questi “abbronzati”?”

Seguono alcune notazioni altamente specifiche: “barelle ad alto isolamento grazie ad un sistema di filtri a pressione negativa.” Mi chiedo se solo uno dei 5 milioni e 210 mila spettatori saprebbe spiegare di cosa si tratta, il giornalista non ce lo spiegherà –> Le informazioni tecniche servono a concretizzare la paura, fornendo dettagli specifici indecodificabili. (vi è mai capitato di mentire e di abbellire con particolari le vostre bugie? Ecco qui, pur non trattandosi di bugie, funziona lo stesso meccanismo)

La parola passa ora al direttore dell’infermeria dell’aereoporto (senza mascherina e tuta come altri militari che sono finiti nelle riprese): “Grazie a questo tipo di dispositivo anche l’ultima barriera che non consentiva l’utilizzo del mezzo aereo è stato abbattuto. Consentendo di fare questo tipo di operazioni in sicurezza.”. Nessun accenno a pericoli di contagio, allo stato di salute del malato, solo la specifica di quanto è stato fatto per trasportare il paziente –> Forse l’atmosfera non era poi così tesa e pericolosa per chi stava lì… forse era più importante com’era stato trasportato del perché.

I dubbi aumentano quando riprende la parola il nostro Omero: “L’Aeronautica militare italiana è l’unica, con quella britannica che può organizzare un trasporto di questo tipo in Europa.” –> Traducendo: Tranquilli, abbiamo uomini che sanno cosa fare, strumenti all’avanguardia, chissà cosa sarebbe successo se foste cittadini spagnoli! Ti ho creato tensione fino a questo punto, ora ti rassicuro un po’… hai l’esercito italiano dalla tua, ti sa proteggere.

Ma il servizio non può concludersi con un happy ending… “I prelievi e gli esami molecolari sono già cominciati. Per capire l’origine della malattia, provare a salvarlo e far scattare eventuali misure di sanità pubblica.“

–> Il livello ansiogeno di chi ha seguito il pezzo a questo punto ha raggiunto il climax… missione compiuta.

E cosa può suscitare un servizio del genere? L’onore della cronaca spetta a me che ero uno dei 5 milioni e 210 mila spettatori.

Mio padre, 70 anni, con fare da novello Veronesi (nel senso di Umberto) sentenzia preciso: “E’ Ebola!”
Io, che era dai tempi di “Virus Letale” che non ne sentivo parlare, guardo mio padre, leggo una certa preoccupazione nei suoi occhi e penso che anche volendo non potrei mai spiegargli quanto era costruito a tavolino un pezzo del genere…

Documentandomi per scrivere questo post ho avuto alcune difficoltà. Innanzitutto ho trovato una copertura della notizia limitata solo a poche fonti e poi mi sono imbattuto in questo articolo di un giorno precedente (giorno 10 ottobre 2009) di cui vi riporto un estratto particolarmente saliente ed illuminante per dubitare ancora di più sul reale scopo del servizio di cui sopra:

“Il trasferimento è stato deciso per motivi di sicurezza”, si limita ad aggiungere Mussano (direttore sanitario dell’Amedeo di Savoia di Torino). La febbre non avrebbe raggiunto la fase emorragica, altamente contagiosa, e il paziente non sarebbe in pericolo di vita.

l’articolo completo lo trovate qui

Pensavo fosse informazione e invece (ancora una volta)… “That’s entertainment!“
