12 August 2009 TIME TO ‘SEIZE THE MOMENT’! (Thanks David for alerting us to this one!) Hi folks! HUGE $WINE FLU CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN WASHINGTON 19-21 AUGUST!! Conference: International Swine Flu Conference Dates, Conference: August 19-20, 2009 Date, Workshop: August 21, 2009 Venue: Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill 400 New Jersey Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C., USA 20001 I SUGGEST WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE REGISTERED TO ATTEND! Also -a PEACEFUL protest outside – drawing attention to the $WINE FLU SCAM (happening INSIDE) – would be BRILLIANT! TAKE ‘THE DEBATE’ TO THEM! Imagine how powerful that would be – having some of OUR people exposing the $WINE FLU SCAM – inside their own Conference! It’s expensive to register – but I reckon it would be an INVESTMENT! Have a handout with a series of HARD QUESTIONS to distribute to attendees (and media)! Presumably there will be media coverage. The thing would be to have independent media there to cover it – get it up on you tube etc. Asking the HARD QUESTIONS from ‘inside the tent’ can be VERY powerful! WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK????? Penny www.lewrockwell.com/… August 10, 2009 Government Prepares for “unwillingness to follow government orders” Posted by Karen De Coster on August 10, 2009 08:47 AM The International Swine Flu Conference is being held in Washington D.C. next week, just two weeks after the conference on weight control that I wrote about last week. Here’s a summary of it: Top leaders and key decision-makers of major companies representing a broad range of industries will meet with distinguished scientists, public health officials, law enforcers, first responders, and other experts to discuss pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery at the 1st International Swine Flu Summit. Read the agenda for the breakout sessions, especially the session on “psychological issues” (Session #2) and the topic heading: “Unwillingness to follow government orders.” Also note session #6, which includes “Control and diffuse social unrest & public disorder” and “Isolate prisons and other facilities.” __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4326 (20090811) __________The message was checked by ESET Smart Security.www.eset.com International Swine Flu Conference Conference: August 19-20, 2009 Workshop: August 21, 2009 Washington, DC
