"The flu hit iraq hard and moved into Africa. More than 90 people were confirmed dead from the bird flu and 180 million birds were killed by the virus or slaughtered to prevent spread of infection. It was moving faster than expected and showed up in France in February. By the end of May, there were 205 cases worldwide with 113 dead, a 45 percent death rate. In Cambodia and iraq, 100 percent of those infected died. New cases were found in the Middle East, Egypt, and Indonesia. Though still not efficient at infecting humans, the virus was learning how to make other mammals sick." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.)

"During the first Gulf War in 1991, remote viewers were asked to search for enemy missile locations hidden in the deserts of western iraq.5 The project successfully pinpointed specific missile sites and eliminated other areas from consideration. The advantages of such a psychic search are obvious. By narrowing down the possible locations where the weapons could be, everything from time to fuel and money was saved. The greatest benefit, however, was to the lives of the troops themselves." - Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.)

"But let us stay on iraq war number one. Some side effects of just one vaccination were these: memory loss, blurred vision, vomiting, urinary irregularities, abdominal cramps, asthma, respiratory disease, and intestinal blockage. Some soldiers were vaccinated against anthrax. Anthrax once was the talk of the day. An unapproved vaccine to protect against this animal disease was injected to those soldiers; 150 thousand soldiers received anthrax vaccine without data on humans in existence. This vaccine had only been tested on cattle and sheep." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) "Billions of dollars were just recently spent on the recent wars (Afghanistan, iraq). We very quickly see that one can make a lot of money with terror-threats. Yes, most of the money was spent in the direction of the weapon-dealers, the weapon-construction companies; but a huge portion also went to Big Pharma. Just one single bit of information comes to the forefront: in June 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law a $4.6 billion bio-terrorism prevention program, of which $640 million went to the production and stockpile of smallpox-vaccine." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) "Let's just look at the iraq war. Just one little war. Let's not talk about the weapon dealers, which made an unbelievable amount of money with this war. (2.1 billion dollars were spent by the USA every day.) Let's not talk about the oil business and connections of some high politicians to the oil, which has been documented so well by CIA officer Robert Baer. Let's not talk about the "reconstruction" firms that earned billions and the real estate deals that are fantastic in every war. Let's not talk about the "connections" of some high USA politicians to the pharmaceutical industry." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) "Let's even go back to the first iraq war. Desert Storm happened in 1991. Six hundred and ninety-six soldiers received several vaccinations. And now comes the real surprise. "During the following three years some 80 thousand of those troops checked into VA hospitals with serious neurological and degenerative diseases for which they had no previous history. Collectively, these mysterious new illnesses came to be known as the Gulf War Syndrome." (O'Shea, pg. 140) Investigations followed, and investigation of investigations. Senators and committees came into view. The result?" - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Habitat: The plant grows in Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, northwest iraq, and the border area between Iran and iraq. Production: Tragacanth is the latex that exudes primarily from immediately under the bark of Astralagus gummifer and other varieties. It is extracted by making an incision in the trunk and branches of shrubs growing in the wild. When dried, it forms flakes that swell in water to form a gelatinous mass." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"His advisors thought the iraq problem could be resolved through diplomacy. However, they described the president as being in a "mesmerized" state of mind as he walked around the presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains with his Stimson biography under his arm at all times. The New Henry Stimson At the time America went to war in iraq, it appeared that Donald Rumsfield took his marching orders from the "Prince of Darkness," Richard Perle. Perle was chairman of the Defense Policy Board, a Pentagon advisory group, and a former assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan." - Byron J.

"Wars in iraq and Afghanistan drain most of the funding from farm programs like conservation security, equipment, sustainable practices, and water quality. • Twelve weeds develop resistance to Roundup. call to farms JOIN THE US. CROP CORPSC Chapter 17 BOMBS AND FERTILIZERS As our story has shown, chemical pesticide and fertilizer manufacturers had already enjoyed a long history by the time they began peddling DDT to farmers during and after World War II. They knew a thing or two about selling chemicals, but farmers were still very suspicious." - Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.)

"Iraq, issued Order 81, "Patent, Industrial Design, Integrated Circuits and Plant Variety Law." The law extends patent protections to seeds and plants, legalizes genetically modified (GM) crops in iraq, and prohibits farmers from saving seed from protected varieties. The order's introduction explains that it is necessary for Iraq's "transition from a non-transparent centrally planned economy to a free market economy."14 Isn't the free market so free! Investigative journalist Greg Palast obtained an internal State Department document from February 2003, a month before the U.S." - Sandor Ellix Katz, The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved (Get the book.)

"I tell clients that it may have made sense to numb themselves when they were on the battlefield—whether that battlefield was Vietnam, iraq, or their parents' alcoholic brawls. Their shutdown may well have helped them survive. But the problem with these shutdowns is that when people are no longer on the battlefield, they often cannot let go of what helped them survive, and their defense becomes a burden that interferes with enjoying life. There is an old Buddhist story about a man who is in danger of being killed on his side of the river." - Bruce E. Levine, Surviving America's Depression Epidemic: How to Find Morale, Energy, and Community in a World Gone Crazy (Get the book.)

"Once the two countries agreed the cow originated in Canada, Canada received some very lucrative contracts in the restoration of iraq.) The USDA claimed the cow was a downer, but three eyewitnesses, including the trucker and slaughterhouse worker who killed the animal, said she was not. The three men accused the USDA of forging documents. A FOIA by the United Press revealed the positive animal was not tested for antibiotics nor had a temperature reading been taken—both requirements for downer cattle." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"As we prepared to leave the Gayo region we heard that the United States had invaded iraq. A television in one restaurant showed the night sky of Baghdad lit up by tracer shells and enormous explosions. There was never a hard look or a cross word from anyone I encountered for the rest of the trip, although many people asked me why this was happening. But there may have been a more subtle response. We stopped at a Muslim restaurant in one small town on our way back to Medan. We ate curried chicken and vegetables with our fingers." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"They were the same as or similar to chemicals that Saddam Hussein used on the Kurds in iraq or that TABLE 1 Pesticide use in the 1990s was double what it was in the 1980s Source: California EPA, Department of Pesticide Regulation Pesticides Used in California 1970-98 1,1 i in nn i mm 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 88 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 98 97 Osama bin Laden threatened us with from Afghanistan, that we had used in the war in Vietnam, and that the Nazis had used in concentration camps." - Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.)

"More recently, iraq has been accused of producing large amounts of botulinum toxin for use as a biological warfare agent. The extreme toxicity of botulinum toxins and the ease of production, transport, and delivery make this an agent of extreme bioterrorism concern. 67 Overview of Botulism: www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/bfcT)otulism/biofacts/ botulismfactsheet.html 68 Keen, H., et al, Diabetes Care, 1993; 16: 8-15. 69 Jamal, G., Diabetic Medicine, 1994; 11(2): 145-49." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"The pollution created in iraq today will affect every part of the globe within 24 hours, as the earth rotates around its axis. In fact, part of the exhaust produced by a single car driven in Beijing this moment will end up in your lungs tomorrow. This is a scientific fact. Pollution isn't an isolated phenomenon and it wasn't back in 1918. The flu spread even to the Arctic and remote Pacific islands. Viruses constantly adjust to the conditions of the environment. This is known as viral mutation." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"The facility, which is vital to Iraq's oil exports, was shut down for two days, costing the nation almost 1 million barrels of oil exports the day of the stoppage. ?In September 2004, U.S. intelligence agencies passed warnings to several countries in East Asia that Jemaah Islamiyah, a terrorist group linked to al Qaeda, planned to turn a hijacked tanker into a floating bomb. The terrorists were purportedly discussing plans to seize a vessel using local pirates." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"After invading iraq and failing to find WMDs, the US government claimed that these weapons had been destroyed, or that they were cleverly hidden. The continuing failure to find WMDs was then presented as being "consistent" with the "prediction" that these weapons would not be found for the above-stated reasons. Yet, these predictions were based on ad hoc hypotheses developed after the embarrassing failure to find WMDs. Apparently, US government leaders preferred this course to simply admitting that they had been wrong all along." - Jay Joseph, The Missing Gene: Psychiatry, Heredity, and the Fruitless Search for Genes (Get the book.)

"For example, on 9/11 the transportation system was used as a weapon. In iraq, attacks against power systems, oil pipelines, and social connections have hollowed out the newly emerging state. Not only do such disruptions render the state unable to deliver those services that are the foundation of its legitimacy, but they create an unstable environment that prompts more groups to enter the open-source war, on either side." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Glycyrrhiza pallida and violocea are found in iraq. Glycyrrhiza tyica is indigenous to southern Europe and southwest Asia. Production: Licorice root consists of the peeled and unpeeled, dried roots and stolons of Glycyrrhiza glabra. Licorice juice is the extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra." - Joerg Gruenwald, Ph.D., PDR for Herbal Medicines (Get the book.)

"PTSD Study Soul Medicine Institute has funded a proposed study of civilian contractors recently returned from iraq, to determine the effects of Energy Psychology on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Phobia Study Soul Medicine Institute is working with other groups to initiate a study at Kaiser Permanente to determine the effects of Energy Psychology on phobias. This is an extension and replication of the two phobia studies described in Chapter 11, with potential for triggering a larger-scale study in the Kaiser system." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"All I can think about are our less than optimally equipped troops in iraq who're being blown up in their Hummers. Let's get our men and women the tools they need to stay as safe as possible. After all, they're on the front lines of this massive war—and let's quit wasting oil over here. The weirdest thing in L.A is the disconnect all of us have experienced between the war and who really caused it." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "In other words, there is more to winning this war on terror and to ensuring a peaceful future founded on strength than what we see on cable news being beamed in from iraq, Afghanistan, and Washington, D.C. We can address the war on terrorism and global warming at the same time. We have to. As a publisher, I have learned that many different kinds of good people hunger to express their patriotism during these times and to do good things for their country. They really care and want to be leaders. But how do people become leaders when so much of the time they are feeling powerless?" - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Iraq had no WMDs, genetic researchers believe that the genes they are looking for actually exist. 5. Andreasen, 2001, p. 209. In 1992, Michael Owen wondered aloud if schizophrenia "will become a graveyard for molecular geneticists?" Because molecular genetic research in schizophrenia was "still in its infancy," he reasoned, "talk of graveyards is premature."1 Owen and other investigators were beginning their work in a "multicentre collaborative programme" of schizophrenia molecular genetic research, supported by European foundations and the American NIMH. " - Jay Joseph, The Missing Gene: Psychiatry, Heredity, and the Fruitless Search for Genes (Get the book.)

"Based on common economic, social, religious, or environmental interests, nations such as Russia and China, Venezuela and North Korea, and even Iran and iraq are finding potentially dangerous common ground. No small number of commentators also note that years of relatively strong economic performance in Asia has spurred a shift in influence from West to East. A period of rising commodity prices, aided in large part by a massive consumption boom in China, has swung the balance in favor of resource producers such as Iran, Venezuela, and Russia." - Michael J. Panzner, Financial Armageddon: Protecting Your Future from Four Impending Catastrophes (Get the book.)

"Habitat: The various Quercus species originated in Iran, iraq, and Turkey, but are now widespread and particularly common in Asia Minor, Europe, and North Africa. Production: Oak Gall is the gall of Quercus infectoria produced by gall wasps (Andricus gallae-tinktoriae) laying their eggs in the leaf buds. The development of the larva probably stimulates the bud as an infection would and produces the gall as a reaction." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"Shirley Paulson, the chief nurse in the ICU in Palo Alto, has a son in iraq. This gives VA workers a sense of pride when they care for the men and women who share that experience, and it shows in the tenderness they display to their patients and their commitment to improving the quality of care they deliver. The patients, too, seem more grateful for the care they receive than patients you see in other hospitals and clinics. Part of that comes from the fact that VA primary care doctors have time to spend with their patients." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"In the 1980s, iraq used mustard, against both Iran and its own Kurdish citizens. Recent medical studies from Iran have been able to show that this irritant, too, just like chlorine, can cause RADS asthma and chronic bronchitis as well.79 Mustard has many of the attributes most valued in a warfare agent: a low constant using Haber's law (although it is not technically gas but rather a fine liquid aerosol), a rapid debilitating effect, and the capacity to overpower protective devices. Still, throughout the twentieth century, governments hoped for even more lethal chemical weapons." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"The same is true for victims of the iraq fungicide catastrophe. The form mercury takes in the body can also influence its half-life, due to the ways in which the different forms are distributed to bodily systems. One study, using mice injected with radioactively labeled mercury, found that inorganic mercury entered most areas of the body but methylmercury entered the brain in concentrations fourteen times higher.49 The mercury from dental amalgam is inorganic mercury, but is partially converted to methylmercury by bacteria in the mouth." - Russell L.
