*Unprecedented Escape Of Genetically-Modified Crops Contaminating Into The
Wild
<http://io9.com/5609576/a-massive-unprecedented-escape-of-genetically+modified-crops-into-the-wild>
*Genetically-modified canola has been breeding undetected in the American
wilds for at least "several generations," say scientists. The escaped GM
canola has already mutated into a never-before-seen strain, and now it may
be modifying other plants too. Canola is a yellow flowering plant that is
used to make oil. Researchers working in North Dakota, found strains of
transgenic canola growing wild on roadsides far from local farms - meaning
the GM plants had spread quite far. They found two strains of transgenic
canola. According to *Nature*: "The extent of the escape is unprecedented,"
says Cynthia Sagers, an ecologist at the University of Arkansas in
Fayetteville, who led the research team that found the canola (Brassica
napus, also known as rapeseed). Sagers and her team found two varieties of
transgenic canola in the wild - one modified to be resistant to Monsanto's
Roundup herbicide (glyphosate), and one resistant to Bayer Crop Science's
Liberty herbicide (gluphosinate). They also found some plants that were
resistant to both herbicides, showing that the different GM plants had bred
to produce a plant with a new trait that did not exist anywhere else..." So
why does this matter? Because if the transgenic canola starts swapping
genetic material with weed populations - something that is not unlikely - it
could spread herbicide resistance to weeds. And that would leave farmers
with no way to fight plant pests - and potentially massive crop failures as
a result.

*Children At Growing Risk From Pop Charts
Porn<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1301974/Mike-Stock-Pop-charts-porn-putting-children-risk.html#>
*
The man who helped launch the career of Kylie Minogue yesterday condemned
modern pop culture for 'sexualising' youngsters. Mike Stock, one third of
the legendary pop factory Stock, Aitken and Waterman, said: 'The music
industry has gone too far. It's not about me being old fashioned. It's about
keeping values that are important in the modern world. 'These days you can't
watch modern stars - like Britney Spears or Lady Gaga - with a
two-year-old. 'Ninety-nine per cent of the charts is R 'n' B and 99 per cent
of that is soft pornography.' He continued: 'Kids are being forced to grow
up too young. Look at the videos. I wouldn't necessarily want my young kids
to watch them. 'I would certainly be embarrassed to sit there with my mum.'
Mr Stock, 58, pictured below, was behind the rise of Miss Minogue in the
late 1980s when she stormed the charts with I Should Be So Lucky. In the
accompanying video, she wore a simple black cocktail dress. The lyrics were
similarly innocent. In contrast, 24-year-old Lady Gaga, who burst on to the
scene two years ago, has regularly used crude metaphors in her lyrics as
well as posing in revealing outfits. Mr Stock believes that today's children
are being 'sexualised' as a result of images put out by the pop industry of
stars such as Lady Gaga.

*Sears Ignores Calls To Stop Selling
Porn*<http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/aug/10081004.html>
Retail giant Sears, which was exposed last week for marketing pornographic
posters through their website, could be facing a boycott if they continue
their refusal to remove the products. "Sears is playing with fire. Sears is
the place that American families are used to going, … and I just cannot
imagine that the vast majority of their customer base wants to shop at a
place that's marketing pornography," said Bryan Fischer, director of issues
analysis at the American Family Association (AFA). "There are a lot of
other places that American families can shop for the same goods they get at
Sears." The AFA broke the news about the posters in an action alert August
3rd after the company refused to respond to more than a half dozen attempts
at communication. The posters, which AFA has published in an edited form
behind three warning walls, depict nudity and groups of people involved in
sexual activities, including one featuring two women. Sears appears to be
digging in its heels on the issue, based on their response to one of AFA's
supporters. Chris B., a Sears employee, wrote: "We … have reviewed the
products in question and found that they do not fall outside our marketplace
guidelines." "Sears is taking their stand. They are going to defend the
merchandising of soft-core pornography on their website," commented Fischer.

Benny Hinn recently admitted at a crusade in Oakland, Calif., to having a
"friendship" with fellow minister Paula White while he's still married after
a tabloid pictured them holding hands in Rome on July 13. But the well-known
healing minister says the relationship is over. "A friendship did develop,"
Hinn said of White in Oakland on July 30. "Hear this: No immorality
whatsoever. These people out there are making it sound like we had an
affair. That's a lie." Hinn invited his daughters Natasha and Eleasha on
stage in Oakland and asked the crowd to pray for him, his estranged wife,
Suzanne, and their four children. He said he and his wife had problems in
their marriage for years and "could no longer exist in the same house."
Hinn's wife, Suzanne, filed for divorce in February after the couple had
been separated for years, but it has not been finalized. Hinn aired segments
from the Oakland crusade and made additional personal comments on his *This
Is Your Day* program on TBN Aug. 5, the day after his 31st wedding
anniversary. A ministry executive said the program will air on other
networks this week, including on Daystar Friday.

Weapons experts say the K95 devices are 20 times more powerful than a police
Taser and are potentially lethal. They look like ordinary Nokia mobile
phones, but deliver a powerful shock when a button is pressed on the side of
the device. UK Border Agency officers told Sky News they have seized four of
the illegal US-made devices in recent weeks. Two were found at the Royal
Mail's Mount Pleasant sorting office in London. Both had been sent from the
US. Officers also seized a device from a passenger arriving at Glasgow
Airport from Bulgaria, and another from a suspect who flew into Manchester
Airport from Turkey. Videos on YouTube show the phones being demonstrated by
retailers offering to supply customers in the UK. A young woman representing
a firm selling self-defence products says: "That's 950,000 volts running
right there. "Like I mentioned before 50,000 volts will get a 250lb person
on the ground for ten minutes, paralysed. "Imagine what this little sucker's

*Apollyon Rising 2012 On The Ruling Class
Occultism*<http://www.raidersnewsnetwork.com/apollyon-eight.htm>
The Economist Newspaper in April 2008 pointed to research by academic David
Rothkopf, whose book, Superclass: The Global Power Elite and the World They
Are Making documented how only a few thousand people worldwide actually
dictate the majority of policies operating at a global scale. The Economist
described this comparatively small number of elites as being "groomed" in
"world-spanning institutions… [who] meet at global events such as the World
Economic Forum at Davos and the Trilateral Commission or… the Bilderberg
meetings or the Bohemian Grove seminars that take place every July in
California." Long time radio host and author of Brotherhood of Darkness,
Stanley Monteith says such persons are part of an "Occult Hierarchy" that
rules the world and directs the course of human events. "The movement is led
by powerful men who reject Christianity, embrace the 'dark side,' and are
dedicated to the formation of a world government and a world religion," he
writes. "They control the government, the media… many corporations, and both
[US] political parties." Interestingly, Pope Benedict XVI may have referred
to the same group when in 2008 he warned United Nations diplomats that
multilateral consensus needed to solve global difficulties was "in crises"
because answers to the problems were being "subordinated to the decisions of
the few." His predecessor, Pope John Paul II may have acknowledged the same,
believing a One World Government beneath the guidance of a ruling superclass

Harness The Explosive Power Of The Sun In Fusion
Project<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/7936284/Fusion-research-at-Iter-unlocking-the-power-of-the-sun.html>
*
It is one of mankind's most daring experiments – a quest to produce
virtually limitless clean energy that, if successful, would revolutionise
life on Earth by harnessing the explosive power of the sun. The energy
problems that already beset our species, and look certain to dominate the
future, would be wiped out at a stroke. The pollution of fossil fuels would
be a thing of the past. The oil beneath the Gulf of Mexico could remain,
safely unmolested. Such is the appeal of the idea that the greatest powers
of the world, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia, America and the
nations of the European Union, have united to pursue the same stellar
objective. Their aim is commercially viable nuclear fusion – deriving energy
from crushing together the nuclei in atoms rather than splitting them, as is
done currently in nuclear fission reactors. The process at the heart of the
idea is breathtakingly simple, hinging on Einstein's most celebrated
equation: e = mc2. There is just one hitch. It is not that the realisation
of this dream will require an extraordinary and co-ordinated feat of
technological innovation and daredevilry. It is that, until now, the world's
largest nuclear fusion project, the International Thermonuclear Experimental
Reactor (Iter), has been consuming far greater quantities than predicted of
its most-needed fuel: cash.

*Hotter-Burning Sun Warming The
Planet*<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2004/jul/18/20040718-115714-6334r/>
The sun is burning hotter than usual, offering a possible explanation for
global warming that needs to be weighed when proceeding with expensive
efforts to cut emissions of greenhouse gases, Swiss and German scientists
say. "The sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now
be affecting global temperatures," said Sami Solanki, the director of the
renowned Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen,
Germany, who led the research. "The sun is in a changed state. It is
brighter than it was a few hundred years ago and this brightening started
relatively recently -- in the last 100 to 150 years," Mr. Solanski
said. Average
global temperatures have increased by about 0.2 degrees Celsius (0.36
degrees Fahrenheit) over the past 20 years and are widely believed to be
responsible for new extremes in weather patterns. Globally, 1997, 1998 and
2002 were the hottest years since worldwide weather records were first
collated in 1860. Bill Burrows, a climatologist and a member of the Royal
Meteorological Society, welcomed Mr. Solanki's research. "It shows that
there is enough happening on the solar front to merit further research.
Perhaps we are devoting too many resources to correcting human effects on
the climate without being sure that we are the major contributor," he said.

*Scientist On Mission To Clone Endangered
Pandas*<http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90001/90776/90882/7100195.html>
China has been exploring every possible means of saving giant pandas, one of
the world's most endangered species, from becoming extinct, even if it means
resorting to cloning them. Chen Dayuan, a senior scientist who specializes
in cloning at the institute of zoology in the Chinese Academy of Sciences,
introduced the idea of performing cloning techniques on giant pandas in
1998. Giant panda Gege tends to her new female cub on Monday, following six
hours of labor at the China Panda Preservation Research Center in Wolong,
Sichuan province. Using initial funding of 100,000 yuan ($14,780), Chen
successfully produced blastocysts by transplanting the somatic nucleus from
sample pandas into the enucleated egg cells of rabbits, the Beijing Morning
Post reported on Thursday. The move was reported as one of the 10 biggest
achievements of science and technology in 1999. It won an award of 6 million
yuan and further funding of 5 million yuan for the project from the Ministry
of Science and Technology.

*Designing The Ultimate End-Times User/Machine Interface: The DNA Tattoo Or
"Dattoo" That Will Be Printed On The User's Skin And Identify Them Via Their
DNA* <http://www.gizmag.com/datto-concept-from-frog-design/15944/>
Five years ago, Frog Design founder Hartmut Esslinger envisioned a
technology that "could influence notions of community, identity, and
connectivity with minimal impact on the physical environment." Using an
online design portal, users would select and try out a customized electronic
processing device that they would then print onto their own skin. The DNA
Tattoo, or Dattoo, could include printable input/output tools such as a
camera, microphone, or laser-loudspeaker – it would be up to the user, as
would the Dattoo's aesthetics. Most intriguingly, it would capture its
wearer's DNA, to ensure an intimate user/machine relationship. Conceived for
the 2005 Forrester Consumer Forum, the Dattoo was a response to the
still-increasing trend of self-expression through connectivity technology –
in a sense, you could call it the ultimate smart phone skin. The idea was to
"realize a state of constant, seamless connectivity and computability
requir[ing] the convergence of technology and self." This meant that the
body itself would need to become the interface, and would supply the
required energy. Because Dattoos would largely replace three-dimensional
tools such as smart phones or laptops, the environment would be spared the
costs of producing, transporting and disposing of those items.

When University Scientists Found Underwater Oil Plumes, the Government Said
Shut Up, Don't Tell Anyone … and Then Tried to Discredit Them

Washington's Blog
Aug 11, 2010

As I've previously reported, a senior EPA policy analyst says that NOAA and
the EPA have been "sock puppets" for BP.

NOAA has repeatedly denied the existence of underwater oil plumes (see this
and this), calculated the spill to be only 5,000 barrels a day, and buried
core data on the oil spill.

Now, university scientists have revealed the NOAA used strong-arm tactics to
try to silence any information on underwater plumes. As the St. Petersburg
Times reports:

The reaction that [the University of South Florida] announcement [of the
discovery of huge underwater plumes] received from the Coast Guard and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the federal agencies that
sponsored their research:

Shut up.

"I got lambasted by the Coast Guard and NOAA when we said there was
undersea oil," USF marine sciences dean William Hogarth said. Some officials
even told him to retract USF's public announcement, he said, comparing it to
being "beat up" by federal officials.

The USF scientists weren't alone. Vernon Asper, an oceanographer at the
University of Southern Mississippi, was part of a similar effort that met
with a similar reaction. "We expected that NOAA would be pleased because we
found something very, very interesting," Asper said. "NOAA instead responded
by trying to discredit us. It was just a shock to us."

NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco, in comments she made to reporters in
May, expressed strong skepticism about the existence of undersea oil plumes
— as did BP's then-CEO, Tony Hayward.

"She basically called us inept idiots," Asper said. "We took that very
personally."

Lubchenco confirmed Monday that her agency told USF and other academic
institutions involved in the study of undersea plumes that they should hold
off talking so openly about it. "What we asked for, was for people to stop
speculating before they had a chance to analyze what they were finding,"
Lubchenco said. "We think that's in everybody's interest. … We just wanted
to try to make sure that we knew something before we speculated about it."

"We had solid evidence, rock solid," Asper said. "We weren't
speculating." If he had to do it over again, he said, he'd do it all exactly
the same way, despite Lubchenco's ire.

***

USF's first NOAA-sponsored voyage to take samples after Deepwater
Horizon, the one that turned up evidence of the undersea plumes, was
designed to gather evidence for use in an eventual court case against BP and
other oil companies involved in the disaster. At the end of the voyage, USF
turned its samples over to NOAA, expecting to get either a shared analysis
or the samples themselves back. So far, Hogarth said, they've received
neither.

NOAA's top oil spill scientist, Steve Murawski, said Monday that he was
"sure we will release the data" at some point. However, he said, because
NOAA has collected so many samples over the past three months, when it comes
to the samples from USF's trip in May, "I'm not sure where they are."

Having A Supply Of Healthy Foods That Last Just Makes Sense

A government official named "Lubchenco" strong-arming scientists to tow the
party line, and a government agency "losing" samples instead of sharing
results with the scientists who had taken them.

Sounds like the Soviet Union, doesn't it?

Too bad it's America.

Mexico coast in Louisiana and Mississippi. Many of them had been working on
shrimp boats before May 1, 2010 and a cousin is a shrimp boat owner. I have
also spoken at length with two RN's working at a Gulf coast Emergency Room
and an Emergency Clinic who are close family friends. I am basing what
follows on their observations and knowledge along with my own personal
research.

A cousin who owns his own shrimp boat was hired by BP to assist with oil
boom and cleanup operations. Other family members were also hired and have
been his crew while undertaking BP boom and cleanup assistance operations.
They were all forced to sign agreements not to publicly speak about their
work or anything about BP operations. Their legal agreements do not mention
anything about speaking openly to their families.


STAGE ONE: THE BLUE FLU a/k/a BP Flu

Every one of those working on the shrimp boat have suffered from flu-like
symptoms since the end of May, 2010. This includes migraine headaches, eye
aches, joint aches, ear aches, severe coughing bouts, fevers, vomiting, and
swollen glands (especially in the neck). These same symptoms are being seen
in the coastal ER's as well. But as family and the RN's have confirmed,
these symptoms are not caused by any viral flu. This is not the same as the
Asian Flu or any other viral flu bug. These symptoms are directly caused by
a lack of oxygen due to airborne chemicals and toxic gases.

Most family members who work and live further inland have not yet
encountered these symptoms since their jobs are indoors where recirculating
air conditioning systems isolate them from constant outdoor air exposure.
They also drive to/from work with the recirculating A/C system on to keep
cool. The same applies when they are in their air conditioned homes. But
those who do work outdoors 10-20 miles inland have recently experienced many
of the same flu-like symptoms as those in the family who are working on the
boats.

According to the ER nurses, in the southern Mississippi and Louisiana areas
there have been more than 600 cases of what their staffs have appropriately
named the "BP flu". The vast majority of these "flu" cases are with those
people who are working along the coast, as well as further offshore, on
boats; and those who live along the southernmost areas along the Gulf of
Mexico. One might initially think - based on mainstream media reports - that
these flu-like symptoms are nothing to be overly concerned about. This is
not a matter of 'take two aspirins and call me in the morning'. Nothing
could be further from the truth.

As reported by researchers at Columbia Univ.'s National Center for Disaster
Preparedness (NCDP) in late July 2010, more than 40 percent of adults living
within ten miles of the coast say they have experienced direct exposure to
the oil spill or clean-up effort. Within this group, nearly 40 percent
reported physical symptoms of skin irritations and respiratory problems.

CYANOSIS: OXYGEN STARVATION

Along with the symptoms that mimic flu-like viruses, there are increasing
cases of severe symptomatic cyanosis. These rapidly increasing symptoms
range from bluish lip color to numbness in fingers and toes. There is also a
fast growing increase of pneumonia cases which are being diagnosed as
chemical induced pneumonia. Those working on boats and those living directly
on the coast are the most effected.

Cyanosis is simply oxygen starvation in the blood. With a moderate case
involving such a lack of oxygen, the skin appears to have a blueish colour.
Hands and fingers especially show these signs as will other extremities such
as toes and lips. A lack of oxygen in the blood can also have a purplish
appearance where the skin surface is red from sun exposure but the blood
beneath the skin is blue. Red and blue make purple.

If all these BLUE FLU symptoms were temporary, most everyone suffering from
them would eventually recover as the blood becomes increasingly oxygenated
once removed from the oxygen depletion source. Short term exposure and
biological complications to gases and chemicals that starve the air and
lungs from oxygen, creating cyanosis, are usually reversible. However, long
term exposure is not fully reversible. Long term exposure depends on how
depleted the air is of oxygen and how much time a person has been exposed to
that condition.

OXYGEN DEPLETED WATER AND AIR

The same goes for oxygen levels in water. Fish, turtles, and crustaceans
(shrimp and lobsters) die quickly when oxygen levels have been depleted.
Dolphins and whales are mammals and they depend on surface water air to
breathe their oxygen. Since May 2010, there has been an epidemic of dead
fish, turtles, dolphins, sharks and whales in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
The mainstream media has failed to report this truth. As someone who works
closely with other animal rescue and wildlife rehabilitation services
throughout the southeast, I have been told there are very few turtles or
marine animals being rescued because the majority are already dead when
found.

It's more than obvious that the water in the northern Gulf of Mexico is
severely depleted of oxygen. This also applies to the surface air that
dolphins and whales - as well as people - depend on to breathe.

In May 2010, tests done by various research vessels in the northern Gulf of
Mexico showed a 30-60% decrease in oxygen levels. This was three long months
ago. This surely accounts for the vast fish kills. But when you combine
lethal chemicals - such as Corexit - along with oil and gas by-products from
large plumes of oil hidden deep in the Gulf, the problem is yet in its
initial stages. As the algae naturally attacks these chemicals, oil and
gases, a further oxygen depletion occurs. It's nature's way of attempting to
correct the problem. The result of that natural process is severe oxygen
depletion.


STAGE TWO: THE BLUE PLAGUE

While the Blue Flu symptoms are increasing for more and more people, those
who have had 30+ days of direct exposure to the toxic and oxygen depleted
Gulf air and water are in immediate danger of permanent and irreversible
biological damage... if not death.

How humans and animals biologically react to cyanosis depends on the
severity of exposure and time of exposure. At first, the body will
compensate as best it can. But sooner or later, the body is overcome and
severe complications begin. Without enough oxygen, the body will begin to
rot and die from the inside out. The outward signs can be numbness in
extremities, swollen necks and throats, blue lips, dark purple tongues, blue
or gray skin colour, and even bloodshot eyes as the body attempts to filter
out the toxins. Lymph nodes and adenoids are overburdened.

But these outward signs are the result of severe inward problems. Left
exposed to a lack of oxygen, the kidneys and liver will fail and shut down.
Heart failure is next. It's the same as someone who has decided to commit
suicide by carbon monoxide depletion of oxygen in a locked garage with their
car running. They die from cyanosis, the lack of oxygen. People living and
working along the northern Gulf coast will eventually die the same way if
exposed to depleted oxygen levels long enough.

NO END IN SIGHT

The oil and gas from the Biloxi Dome area has not stopped flowing. It's an
oil exploration well which blew out on or about February 13, 2010 so
severely that it deposited the Blow Out Preventer (BOP) and the steel well
casing hundreds of yards away on the ocean floor. There is nothing there to
cap or abate the oil flow with. It's an open hole that is nothing less than
an oil, gas and tar volcano. While a certain leaking BP well may have been
capped seven miles northeast of the Biloxi Dome area, an already large
underwater lake of oil at an approximate 3,000 foot depth is rapidly growing
each hour. It's estimated 9 mile length in May 2010 is surely dwarfed in
size now.

Don't be fooled by the lack of surface oil being reported by the mainstream
media shills and BP. Corexit hides what is beneath and Corexit is more toxic
than crude oil itself. The only people denying the existence of the
underwater plumes are the people at BP. And they offer no evidence to
contradict the extremely solid evidence provided by four universities,
including LSU, of the existence of these huge underwater plumes of oil.


The BLUE PLAGUE Spreads

Just because you don't live on the Gulf coast, don't think the Blue Plague
won't come your way. As more gas, oil and tar fills the Gulf of Mexico from
the Biloxi Dome area, more toxins are released into the water and the air.

Evaporation, storms, and hurricanes will spread the continually increasing
oil-chemical-gas toxins inland. Certain areas may experience more severe
exposure than those living on the Gulf coast. In concentrated amounts, it
will be as acid rain that has washed and destroyed your crops, trees or
grass. It will enter streams, lakes, and underground water sources. Fish,
mammals, and animals will die just as they have in and along the Gulf coast.
Potable water and food will be effected. The air will be effected. The Blue
Plague will grow as more airborne and cloud-filled toxins spread the Gulf
oil and gas lakes beneath the surface inland.

If you don't believe this is happening now or will never happen in your home
town in the future, then just keep your face buried in your HDTV screen and
keep the beer flowing while you watch NASCAR races and Dr. Phil. But if you
have decided the mainstream media is not telling you the truth, then wake up
and smell the roses. The true health effects on humans will only begin to
surface years from now and this includes proven carcinogenic cancers.

The Blue Flu may be all that most will have to endure because of the spewing
oil volcano in the Gulf of Mexico, but don't bet your life on avoiding the
Blue Plague.

Oil spill: BP nears deal to continue drilling in Gulf of Mexico
Published on 08-11-2010

Source: Telegraph

The deal with the White House would allow BP to guarantee its $20bn (£13bn)
clean-up fund against revenues from its operations in the Gulf, which
account for approximately 10pc of its oil and gas business.

If the deal were to be agreed – it remains one of a number of solutions
being discussed – it would all but guarantee BP's future in the Gulf,
despite efforts by certain members of the US Congress to force the company
away from US shores.

The negotiations – led on BP's behalf by incoming chief executive Bob Dudley
– continued as BP's attempt fully to seal the Macondo well were hampered by
bad weather, delaying drilling of the relief well by two to three days.

The talks also came as it emerged that BP renewed its insurance policy to
cover its directors just ahead of the explosion on the rig above the Macondo
well on April 20.

Shares in BP continue to fluctuate despite the company's efforts to move on
from the spill. They closed down 8.02 at 424.73p in London.

Although the White House talks are far from complete, it appears that BP is
likely to place some of the revenues from its Gulf operations as collateral
for the $20bn compensation fund.

Antibiotics' efficiency wanes due to global spread of drug-resistant
bacteria

prevalent intestinal bacteria

Macleod for the Guardian

International travel and medical tourism have led to the rapid, global
spread of drug-resistant bacteria that may presage the end of antibiotics
and leave doctors struggling to treat infected patients, scientists warn
today.

A new gene conferring high levels of resistance to almost all antibiotics
has been found to be widespread in forms of gut bacteria that can cause
potentially life-threatening pneumonia and urinary tract infections.

In just three years, says Professor Tim Walsh of Cardiff University who
discovered the gene, it has grown in prevalence from being rarely observed
at all to existing in between 1% and 3% in patients with Enterobacteriaceae
infections in India.

"It is absolutely staggering," said Walsh. "Because of international travel,
globalisation and medical tourism, [the gene] now has the opportunity to go
anywhere in the world very quickly."

Walsh's paper on the spread of drug-resistant bacteria containing the gene
appears today in the Lancet infectious diseases journal.

He and his colleagues have found NDM-1 (New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase) 1
positive bacteria not only in India and Pakistan but also in the UK. Some of
the infected British patients had travelled to India for kidney or bone
marrow transplants, dialysis, pregnancy care or burns treatment, while
others had undergone cosmetic surgery.

Walsh says it is not possible to know how widespread the bacteria now is in
the UK. The Health Protection Agency has issued an alert, but doctors report
only those cases they treat.

Alarmingly, there are only two antibiotics that still work against NDM
1-producing bacteria, and the likelihood is that they will also be overcome
before long.

"In many ways, this is it," he said. "This is potentially the end. There are
no antibiotics in the pipeline that have activity against NDM 1-producing
Enterobacteriaceae."

Even if scientists started work immediately on discovering new antibiotics
against the threat, he added, there will be nothing available soon.

"We have a bleak window of maybe 10 years, where we are going to have to use
the antibiotics we have very wisely, but also grapple with the reality that
we have nothing to treat these infections with.

"It is the first time it has got to this stage with these type of bacteria."

Walsh and his colleagues' work also shows that the NDM 1-producing bacteria
are widespread not only in hospitals but quite probably in the wider
community in India, where contamination of drinking water allows gut-borne
bugs to be transmitted easily. Drug-resistant bacteria could also
potentially be passed from one person to another in the UK, he said.

Ten years ago, scientists believed the greatest threat from drug-resistant
infections involved what are known as Gram-positive bacteria, which include
the so-called superbug MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus).

But now, says the Lancet paper, clinical microbiologists increasingly agree
that multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, which thrive in the gut,
pose the greatest risk to public health.

Not only is the genes' resistance to antibiotics growing more rapidly, but
there are fewer new drugs to fight them.

Walsh discovered the NDM 1 gene after investigating the case of a patient in
Sweden who was admitted to hospital in India infected with Klebsiella
pneumoniae and E. coli bacteria.

The gene made the bacteria resistant to the group of antibiotics called
carbapenems. The carbapenems are normally kept for emergencies and used when
bacteria is found to be resistant to more commonly prescribed antibiotics.

The gene is carried on a plasmid, a small section of DNA that can move from
one bug to another, passing on drug-resistance as it goes. These have,
according to the paper, "an alarming potential to spread and diversify among
bacterial populations."

Walsh says: "The plasmids are highly promiscuous."

Given the likely worldwide spread of these multidrug-resistant bacteria, the
paper says: "It is disturbing … to read calls in the popular press for UK
patients to opt for corrective surgery in India with the aim of saving the
NHS money.

"As our data shows, such a proposal might ultimately cost the NHS
substantially more than the short-term saving and we strongly advise against
such proposals."

In a commentary in the journal, Johann Pitout from the University of Calgary
in Canada calls for patients who have received medical treatment in India to
be screened before they are admitted for care back home. He warns that
medical tourism, fuelling the spread, could grow in India by 30% every year
over the next five years.

USS Truman posted opposite Hormuz as Iranian threats spiral
DEBKAfile Special Report August 11, 2010, 12:00 PM (GMT+02:00)

Tags: Hormuz <http://www.debka.com/search/tag/Hormuz/> Iranian

USS Truman <http://www.debka.com/search/tag/USS%20Truman/>
Iran digs "mass graves for US soldiers"

To meet increasingly defiant Iranian threats to US regional military forces,
Washington has detached the USS Truman carrier from support duty for
Afghanistan in the Arabian Sea and reassigned it to Dubai opposite the Gulf
of Oman and the Straits of Hormuz with thousands of marines aboard.
Reporting this, debkafile's military sources note that the Iranian submarine
attack on a Japanese oil supertanker last month near Hormuz underlined the
urgency of heightened security for keeping the vital straits open.
Tuesday, Aug. 10, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, commander of the Iranian
Revolutionary Guards Navy (which is Iran's only real naval force), remarked:
"Aircraft Carrier USS Truman is currently at Jebel Ali" - 35 kilometers
southwest of Dubai - "and will quickly leave the region."
Speaking to reporters at the Bandar Abbas naval base, the admiral announced
the addition of twelve torpedo and missile cruisers to the IRGC Navy and the
purchase of a British Bladerunner speedboat. "What worries the Americans is
that we have equipped (the speedboat) with military gear," he said.
Our Iranian sources note that Tehran keeps track of - and responds instantly
with fleet deployments of its own - to every US naval movement in a broad
radius from its shores - from the Red Sea in the North, to the Gulfs of Aden
and Oman in the East, the Horn of Africa in the west and the southern
approaches to the Indian Ocean.

debkafile of April 22, 2010, first revealed that Iran was preparing a fleet
of speedboats for striking American air carriers. (To read this article click
here <http://www.debka.com/article/8732>.)
By announcing that Iran had equipped the speedboats with military gear
added, Fadavi unveiled Iran's counter-threat to US air carriers in general
and the USS Truman in particular. Our military sources report that the
souped-up Bladerunners have a speed of 61/5 MPH. They Russian-made Shkval
torpedoes they carry had travel up to 360 knots per hour, the fastest of any
comparable torpedo in service today, a speed which defies radar detection.

Two days earlier, on Aug. 8, Iran launched four Ghadir-type mini-submarines
from the same base at Bandar Abbas.

The USS Truman Strike force carries 6,000 marines and sailors and Carrier
Wing Three consisting of seven Battle Axe squadrons. It leads a flotilla of
four more vessels: the guided missile cruiser USS Normandy, the guided
missile destroyer USSWinston S. Churchill, the USS Oscar Austin destroyer
and the guided missile destroyer USS Ross.

Another carrier, the USS Peleliu and its marine force are in the Arabian Sea
waiting for permission to enter Karachi port and render aid to the millions
of flood-stricken Pakistanis. The USS Nassau is cruising in the Gulf Aden.

In a bid to further dramatize Iran's readiness for war, IRGC Deputy Chief
Gen. Hossein Kan'ani Moghadam announced Tuesday, Aug. 10: "The mass graves
that were used for burying Saddam's soldiers [in the Iran-Iraq war of the
1980s] have now been prepared for US soldiers - and this is the reason for
digging a large number of graves."
The Iranian media ran this statement as a headline with large photos of the
fresh graves.
debkafile's military sources report that Tehran is also flexing its muscles
against the United States in Lebanon. After the Lebanese army's Aug. 3 clash
with Israel, the Iranian ambassador called on the Lebanese chief of staff
and offered Tehran's support for Beirut. He also proposed Iranian military
assistance to take the place of the American hardware which US Congress
proposes to cut off after the Lebanese army instigated the clash.
The Iranian diplomat proposed invoking the 2008 Iranian-Lebanese military
accord which provides for Iranian arms, including heavy weapons, to be
supplied to Lebanon together with Iranian military instructors.
This proposition was dismissed by US State Department spokesman Philip
Crowley when he said Tuesday: "Iran's activities compromise Lebanese
sovereignty."
Stepping up the pressure on Beirut to abandon its pro-Western orientation,
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has announced he will pay a visit
Beirut after Ramadan (which began Tuesday night, Aug, 10 and runs for 30
days).
