Way back in 1918 there was a flu that was super fast and super strong, it killed about 40 million people. It came and it went and no ones knows why, or how it worked. One victim, A 20 year old girl from England, was buried in a lead lined coffin and has been buried all these years, Now, She is going to be coming back out of the earth to reveal the secret of the flu that killed so many.

The idea is that the flu that killed her will still be in it's pure form inside her well perserved body. The lead lined coffin is air tight and she will have not decomposed and just maybe a live virus can be found. If a live culture is found then they will study how ist was able to spead so fast and kill so many.

Of course, they are doing this to protect us from future outbreaks, but I sort of think that this would make a really wonderful weapon of terror, I mean in today's world it could spread around the world in days and the death toll would be in the billions.

Does this whole idea make anyone question the thinking of these people? I had an aunt and uncle killed by the flu and if you check your local graveyards I bet you to will find many graves dated 1918.


Now on to the 1700's cure for smallpox, infecting people with cow pox, for that is what they are planning to do for us. Vaccine is a word that comes form the latin word for Cow. It was noted that those who suffered from cowpox, seldom got small pox and that is why they started infecting people. Remerber the big scar one gets from the small pox shot, that my friends is the result of Cow Pox. We are still using the same treatment today as we did in 1700. Odds are that if you have had cow pox once, you do not need to get them again, at least I for one will say no thank you.

Nathen, do ya have a cow?

Now you are going to pretend you have never had cowpox?

Look on your left shoulder, see that big brown spot or indent? That my friend is the scar one gets from the cowpox shot you got as a child in school. Or am I the only old timer here?

No I do not have a Cow, just a big brown dog who gets really pissed when I try to milk him.

Jay and I always thought that was the badge of our generation; maybe they thought they were giving us a smallpox vaccination, but really they infected us with freakpox.

I think it's great that "our commander in chief" ,George W. Bush, has "volunteered" to have the smallpox vaccine administered to himself.He has done this, he says, because he understands the risk invloved in having this vaccine, and that perhaps one out of every million people can die from it. And since he has ordered the military to have the vaccine, he thought it only right to share the risk.What a brave and noble man. In the same spirit, I would suggest that if Dubya sends our boys to visit Saddam, that he shares the risk by standing on the front lines with an M-16 in his hands.Heaven knows he may do more good there than here in the states. I mean I know I would feel safer if he wasn't in Washington thinking for me.

That brings back allot of memory's! I remember the local Dr. supervising all the innoculations. (I lived in a very small town where everyone literally knew everyone else. Almost erie like that of a Steven King Book)!

They got to me, and the Dr. soon glanced at my records. Remembering I had been allergic to just about everything out of the sun, they decided I was a bad candidate and I never got the thing. Kid's used to tease me saying I was gonna die....lol....I was glad about the whole thing. I knew I would never carry that little scar. Individualizm has alwasy been my strongsuit!

To answer your question N8, why fix something that isn't broken??????

Larry, your campaign just got a great slogan and focus! Go, Senator! Bush to the Front!

what a great slogan:

<B><FONT size="6">"Let's put our Bush out in front where it will do the most good!"</FONT s>
<FONT size="4">For Senate, vote Larry, of the Great State of Confusion!</FONT s></B>

that should certainly get some heads a-turnin'!

You guys may just be right. Since I have decided to throw my hat into the ring and run for senator of the great state of Confusion, I have decided that I should get less votes than whomever I am running against and thus be declared President of the United States and the conclusion of this election.This may mean that I may have to vacate the office of governor of the great state of Confusion, But I plan to tell them I will, but I won't leave.
So, the slogan of "Send Bush to the Front" will mean I am really running against him, but he's to dumb to know that since I declared a run for the senate. Please, nobody tell him! I predict that the "Confusion Party" will whoop the "Stupid Party", and after we do, we are gunna hook up with those folks in "The Wanna Party?" because they do and they can.
So my fellow Americans, resident and illegal aliens, what do we want in The Whitehouse, Stupidity or Confusion????!!!!
Remember that confusion is always better than stupidity, because you at least know that facts, even if you put them in the wrong order!

Reward!
For Information Leading To The Identification Of The Eli Lilly Bandit

In November, as Congress finalized the legislation authorizing a new Department of Homeland Security, two paragraphs suddenly appeared in the bill giving drug maker Eli Lilly & Company something it desired: a shield from lawsuits by parents who claim the company's vaccines caused their children's autism.

The provision diverts those suits from state courts to a federal 'vaccine court' where damages are capped at $250,000 -- small compensation for a child's lifetime of medical care. And because any damages awarded by the vaccine court are paid by U.S. taxpayers, manufacturers are relieved of liability.

It's a sweet deal for Eli Lilly, a very special interest that, like most mega-donors, gets what it wants in Washington. Since 2000, the company has given $1.6 million to national parties and federal campaigns, 79 percent of it to Republicans.

Who inserted the provision? Reporters tried and failed to find out. Lilly's lobbyists (laughably) claim ignorance. No one on Capitol Hill is proud enough of his handiwork to claim it.

Democracy requires accountability, so TomPaine.com is offering a $10,000 reward to the first person who proves the identity of the Eli Lilly Bandit -- the member of Congress responsible for inserting the company's special provision. Mail submissions to PO Box 53303, Washington, D.C. 20009. The complete terms and conditions of this offer are posted at www.TomPaine.com.

Public officials who work secret deals like this are cowards. They subvert and dishonor a fundamental American principle -- open government accountable to the people.

Help us finger the Eli Lilly Bandit.

A CLARIFICATION: Lots of readers have contacted us to say, "Rep. Dick Armey admitted doing it!" We know that. It's easy for Dick Armey to say he did it -- he's a lame duck with no accountability. And indeed, Armey, as House Majority Leader, did ALLOW it to happen. But what TomPaine.com is looking for is THE PERSON WHO *ASKED* ARMEY to ALLOW it to happen. THAT is the person we want to finger.

I have decided to seek the post of senate majority leader since good 'ole boy Trent is stepping down. Do you think the republican senators will notice that I am neither a republican or a senator? And, even if they do, should that disqualify me ?
I'm in the mood for a coup, so why not?
