Article I refer to herein was published in the Washington Post, NOT 
the NY Times.





The U.S. government is now planning for full martial law NOT due to 
"terrorism" but the projected Avian (bird) flu epidemic. An article 
in Easter Sunday's Washington Post (of course that's when the info 
would be released, at a time when relatively few people would become 
aware or be able to focus on examining it) raises the spectre.

As I and others have been warning, by orchestrating a multi-year 
series of alleged "health crises" the US government has now completed 
putting into place -- under the radar -- a whole byzantine world of 
police-state apparatus under the guise of "bio-terror response" and 
"health care", and is likely preparing to use it this year.

Why?

Well, one reason is to enable Karl Rove to mastermind keeping the 
Bush-Cheney regime in power against all the numbers and the revolt of 
the retired generals now occurring, as well as to extend the full 
implementation of the Program for the New American Century (PNAC) -- 
i.e., continuation of empire-building, control of the world's oil 
supply, and extraction of incredibly huge profits for a narrow sector 
of global capital (while bankrupting others). Some, including me, 
speculate that the orchestrated Avian Flu "epidemic" will be 9-11 all 
over again, but on a much grander scale. (There are other possible 
rationales as well, commensurate with securing the interests of the 
sector of the ruling class in power.)

One good website that has been compiling information on the Bird Flu 
is http://www.legitgov.org/flu_oddities.html .  We are allocating 
much space on the NoSpray Coalition website www.nospray.org to 
address these issues as well.

I am urging us all to shift a significant portion of our time to 
dealing with issues related to the "Pandemic" of the Avian Bird Flu, 
the government's lies and deceptions, and to the safety measures 
we're going to need to prepare. West Nile, Smallpox, Anthrax, SARS, 
and now Bird Flu are "political" diseases in that the panic, the 
response, and perhaps the micro-organisms themselves are being 
manipulated for political reasons, not natural ones. We need to begin 
NOW building the base to reject the government's coming blitzkrieg of 
lies on the subject, the legislation that will follow in its wake or 
even come beforehand on establishment of concentration (er, 
"quarantine" or "internment") camps, forced vaccinations, ethnic 
weapons, and the like.
