    Fortune Magazine/Nelson D. Schwartz
    A year ago Tamiflu was known, if at all, as an obscure remedy for influenza, which doctors typically treat with bed rest and chicken soup. Today, with panic mounting over a potential bird flu pandemic, it’s the most sought-after drug in the world, as everyone from suburban soccer moms in the U.S. to health officials in London and Taipei scramble to stockpile the pill. At the moment, it seems, virtually the entire world is on sick-chicken alert.

    Leading expert of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute for higher nervous activity and neurophysiology, Doctor of Biology Irina Yermakova, conducted an experiment on rats.

    The Poet Ezra Pound once said The technique of infamy is to invent two lies, then get people arguing heatedly over which one of them is true.
    This can be said of Every Issue in American Politics. The leaders put forth two acceptable ideas, and the tv propaganda dutifully repeats the fake debate 24/7 - all the while omitting the true alternative.

    Acceptable choices: Stay the course, or Redeploy
    True Alternative: Bring Home the Troops

    The top two Republicans in Congress caught in an outright lie A Republican staffer has named Frist and Hastert as the two lawmakers that added the vaccine makers liability protection to the defense bill- after the committee had met several times that day, and Dems even asked Alaska Senator Ted Stevens if the language was in the bill, and he told them no.

    Hidden in the folds of the thickly pork-laden Department of Defense Appropriations bill that slid through Congress just before Christmas and was signed into law a day before New Year’s was a big slab of holiday cheer for the pharmaceutical industry. There were no press releases from congressional offices and no mention in the news - maybe no one wanted to take credit for this latest assault on the 14th amendment.
