The Fear

Faery Lite | 23.07.2009 06:49 | Analysis

One threat level goes up another goes down.

So we don't have to worry so much about terrorists now besieging our beloved nation. Instead we have to worry about Swine Flu besieging the sanctity of our homes. One threat has been replaced by another. Classical Psychology. As is well-documented by now, think The Trap, etc., it entirely makes sense to keep a populace in their place through the creation of need for a state. We need the state to take care of us when a threat looms since it is so huge that we just cannot look after ourselves. It is usually an unknown or mysterious threat. It is usually something which as individuals we cannot hope to combat ourselves. It usually requires the intervention of the nanny state to solve. It is usually BS.

We can always act as individuals more responsibly than the state themselves. We can mass together in our communities to solve these problems ourselves. We DO NOT have to be reliant on a state that, quite honestly, is already stretched beyond breaking point anyhow trying to sort out its internal politics.

Talk to your neighbour. Think for yourself.

Stay healthy.

Greedy filthy rich scummy GlaxoSmithKline

23.07.2009 07:56

GlaxoSmithKline are soon to be targeted for a demo right outside their fucking base in Brentford, these profiteers of death have a vaccine for Swine Flu which cost them 1 pound to develope, yet they intend to charge our Government 6 pounds a dose, which means we the public are paying for it while the bastards at GlaxoSmithKline hold us to ransom, no doubt people will die due to these fucking greedy bastards, they are fucking about with our NHS, so I say lets fuck with their employees, managers n bosses, lets all get together and close in on their base in West London in the not to distant future. Pass it on to all whom you know and we will be the fuckers who smashed their get rich quick scheme.

Time for Direct Action against GlaxoSmithKline UK

23.07.2009 08:03

Anyone in West London, Brentford, Ealing, Feltham, Isleworth, Houndslow who know any disgusted employee at GlaxoSmithKline, tell em to walk out or not turn up for work because when people start dying in masses as they will do, you have to make a choice whether to fight to stay flu free or die to something that we could all well of survived and this isn't the first time GlaxoSmithKline have profited out of us being unwell. Take direct action now before its to late.
These parasites proberbly started the Swine Flu in their fucking labs anyway so they could profit out of a vaccine, they are taking the piss, lets fuckin storm the base in Brentford's Great West Road NOW!!!

Direct Action Now!!! Not tomorrow, not next week, NOW!!!

Swine Flu cases will soon overtake the unemployment figures & Greedy Bastards "GlaxoSmithKline" who've been developing a vaccine, costing them 1 pound a shot, will be charging our National Health Service 6 pounds a dose. Our Government are buying 60 million doses making this company a huge profit. Will we stand by and watch our familes n loved ones die so these profiteers make a fortune out of death? FUCK EM get to the Great West Road, Brentford and bring banners, white overalls, masks and give them a well deserved throttling.

Direct Action Jackson


not enough

23.07.2009 10:27

You are being incredibly low in your estimate of the cost `to us` of the tamiflu that was purchased for the h5n1(bird flu) that never reached its full strength. The h1n1,human+bird+swine cocktail development virus project we are now faced with,is probably less of a threat,healthwise,than the vaccine concoction itself.Certainly the anti viral tamiflu is being "served up" to clear stocks to make way for yet another overpriced head fuck; that will have the idiots queue lines testament to the psychological piss take we are allowing our oppressors to get away with. So the rulers and their evil little animal abusing freemasonry riddled assholes will inherit a depopulated and devoid of descent planet ! So if there is a god ,what the fuck is the lazy bastard doing, there is no god,so what is stopping us from reclaiming the planet,after all we now have communication globally,proven liars and fraudsters as leaders are not what this planet needs.

Vote PIRATE.

No don't talk to your neighbors. You might catch something of them, that's if they don't blow you up first:(

Remember swine flue was a product of the factory farming meat industry, to which disaster capitalism comes to the rescue. Rather like Al-Qaida is a product of western imperialism to which the 'militory industrial complex' comes to the rescue.

If we didn't create problems for ourselves we'd have nothing to do, but chill out in the garden of Eden.

Best just not get involved with the state at all and just get down the allotment;)

Swine flu action

23.07.2009 11:54

90% of the cost of Tamiflu is attributable to the brand name on the box. Generic Indian Oseltamivir produced by Cipla costs a tenth of what our government are paying GSK.
 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/world/2009/04/428731.html?c=on#c222105

Anyone who wishes to take direct action against GSK would be better focussing on their manufacturing facility in the town of Barnard Castle, County Durham. It is a wide sprawling series of buildings that would be impossible to defend, and better still, there is only one easily blocked access road.

If you are going to take action about Swine Flu in the South of England, then the Smithfield-UK HQ in Norwich seems a more appropriate target.

ridiculous

23.07.2009 12:30

The sun rises and then the sun sets -- I guess you are going to blame the government for that aswell

Attacking Glaxo (who are making a drug that saves lives). Reminds me of the opening scene from 24 days later, when the activists let the animals out of the research laboratory and end up killing millions of people through their well meaning actions.

That would be something wouldn't it.... the virus transforms into something more harmful (oh which has happened in hong kong by the way) and we find we havnt got any tamiflu because activists decided to destroy the production of it over what is essential quite a trivial cost.

Rather than doing something destructive, why dont you do something constructive?
Ie. why don't you develop your own anti virul drugs and sell them for a pound?

yes, lets all drink soup and peppermint tea.

Thats always been more than enough to stop a infectious agent from using our cells as host to form replicants of itself. And if they do, we can all get together around at Mrs Miggins and discuss how to fix it ourselves in our community in her cauldren. We don't need these modern antimicrobials, a bit of homemade jam will suffice in reducing a virus' ability to infiltrate a target cell.

If you want to fix the treatment of flu viruses yourself in the community and can find like minded people then go for it. If i get seriously ill, I'd rather use modern drugs rather than wishful thinking

The great sneeze-off.

Why are people on here posting crap and trying to pretend you are protesters and activists?

Why are you habitually trying to drive people away from this site by endlessly bickering about absolute shite?

Why do you post such nonsense?

Whats it going to be next, a deadly strain of the common cold?

Do yourselves a favour and just fuck-off, please!

Sniff!


The point.

The world population is @ 24/07/09 : 6,773,106,875. according to C.I.A. Figures. The W.H.O tells us all countries are now affected by swine flu. The new modified version of a billion is to the power of 10(the norm used to be to the power of 12). Now ask what the incentive would be to sell drugs to that amount of people (or create the need) without any advertising/promotional costs. The other edge to the sword would be that the world population needs thinning out, this is the biggest chance for the big pharma to make a killing,excuse the pun.
It is no wonder many people ,me included, are wary of companies that have no regard for life and indulge in inflicting agony and suffering to millions of innocent animals to make financial gains or for researchers to get papers published.

Sinister forces are in control of this planet, people that are immune from questioning or prosecution and live in a police protected environment, Kissinger, Rummy, G7 et`al.
We need the Pirate Party candidates worldwide, not the fascist clique in power now.
We are all entitled to an opinion, Indymedia facilitates that and should remain impartial, even from the power of the state and the comments from pharma/research employees.
