Bird flu in Bahamas...it's on the move.




AFP NEWS via BreitBart.com

Recent news shows that the H5N1 bird flu virus strain may have made it way across the Atlantic Ocean as experts continue to probe the unexplained deaths of 14 birds in the Southern Bahamas region of South America.
Experts probed the unusual deaths of 14 birds in the southern Bahamas amid fears the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus strain had reached the Americas.

In Europe, meanwhile, Swiss officials confirmed the Alpine nation's first case of the disease's highly pathogenic strain that can kill humans, while the world's top health agencies played down the death of a German cat from H5N1.

Ten flamingos, three roseate spoonbills and a cormorant were found dead in a wildlife reserve on the Bahamas island of Great Inagua, which has a population of about 50,000 flamingos and a large lake popular with migrating birds.

"It is definitely an unusually high number, normally you don't find wild birds dropping out and dying," said Eric Carey, director of Parks and Science for the Bahamas National Trust, which runs the Inagua National Park.

To date, the magical anti-dirty bird force field has worked like a charm and no case of the deadly H5N1 bird flu has been reported in the Western Hemisphere as of yet.

Notice the important words here. Reported, as not publicly to the people on the ground, you and me, Everyday Joe Citizen:
To date, the Western Hemisphere has had no confirmed case of H5N1 bird flu, which has spread from Asia to Europe, Africa and parts of the Middle East, killing more than 90 people since it surfaced in 2003.

All had caught the disease from handling domestic fowl believed infected by migrating birds, but scientists fear that if the virus mutates to become transmissible between humans, a pandemic could occur, resulting in millions of deaths.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, there is no explained reason how this dreaded flu can be spreading across the rest of the world and not hit the Americas.

I chalk this up to a very politically-motivated CDC and WHO that will probably stay tight-lipped until bodies are piling up in the street.

Politics in everything--even in "states-sponsored" death, as many countries will fail to understand the enormousness of this situation.

Stock water, food and the means to defend yourself. Don't wait or rely on governments that find new and creative ways to screw people in the midst of crises.

It's coming, be prepared.

Being behind the ball on this could mean you or a loved one's life.
