Everything Under The Sky

BILA saya berumur tujuh tahun, ibu kepada rakan sekelas saya amat terhibur mendengar saya berceloteh dalam bahasa Hokkien dengan anaknya. "Kamu ini orang (bangsa) apa?" dia bertanya dalam bahasa Hokkien. "Saya ini orang putih (Inggeris)," saya menjawab. Dia tertawa terbahak-bahak.
Tapi saya serius! Benar, saya boleh berbahasa Malaysia dan Hokkien, tetapi saya bertutur dengan ibu bapa dan adik-beradik saya dalam bahasa Inggeris. Tambahan pula, saya ini kacukan — banyaklah campur-aduk ini dan itu. Jadi, mengikut logik seorang kanak-kanak Darjah Satu, tidaklah tepat saya menjawab yang saya ini "Melayu" atau "Cina" atau "India" atau "Pakistan". Keluarga saya bertutur bahasa Inggeris, jadi bukankah kami berbangsa Inggeris?
Bila umur saya meningkat, barulah saya faham — saya kena tandakan ruangan "Melayu" di borang rasmi. Jadi saya menjadi orang "Melayu". Tapi bagi saya, label "Melayu" sebenarnya satu misteri yang amat menarik. Malah, label "Cina" dan "India" juga amatlah menarik. Bila saya berkenalan dengan siapa-siapa, saya pasti akan bertanya, "Awak ini orang apa sebenarnya?"
Oleh kerana saya bertanya dengan penuh minat dan hormat, para kenalan saya ini jarang tersinggung. Yang "Melayu" kadang-kadang akan mengaku, "Belah bapa keturunan Jawa, belah emak keturunan Minang." Yang "India" kadang-kadang menjelaskan, "Bapa saya orang Tamil beragama Kristian arus Protestan, ibu saya orang Malayalee beragama Katolik." Yang "lain-lain" pula sangatlah menarik: "Belah bapa Serani Portugis, belah emak Cina."
Jadi saya amatlah tertarik dengan saranan Timbalan Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri, Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir, agar ruangan "bangsa/keturunan" digugurkan dalam borang rasmi. Kecuali untuk perkara yang berkaitan dengan hak istimewa bumiputera. Pengecualian Mukhriz ini sudah dikupas dengan teliti. Tapi saya ingin pula menumpukan perhatian kepada cadangannya secara keseluruhan.
Mukhriz membuat saranan ini pada 9 Ogos 2009. Pada 12 Ogos pula, Zainuri Misfar telah bertanya, Benarkah filem Yasmin karya tanah air paling hebat?, dalam ruangan Fragmennya dalam akhbar Berita Harian. Saya rasa soalan Zainuri memang wajar ditanya, tetapi saya agak terkejut dengan hujahnya menyoal "kualiti" karya arwah Yasmin Ahmad.
Zainuri menulis, "Misalnya, babak gadis Melayu berbaju kurung berdiri di hadapan daging babi salai di sebuah restoran Cina dalam filem Sepet, boleh menimbulkan tanda tanya kepada penonton kanak-kanak." Orang Melayu berdiri depan restoran Cina pun boleh menimbulkan tanda tanya? Tanda tanya tentang apa? Barangkali tentang hakikat bahawa kita di Malaysia terdiri daripada pelbagai kaum dan agama? Bukankah itu saranan Mukhriz?
Label dan stereotaip kaum seolah-olah mencadangkan bahawa di Malaysia, semua orang Melayu sepatutnya 100% Melayu, semua orang Cina sepatutnya 100% Cina, dan semua orang India sepatutnya 100% India, dan seterusnya. Di Semenanjung Malaysia terutamanya, kita mempunyai gambaran stereotaip tambahan tentang "bangsa-bangsa" ini — semua orang India mesti bertutur bahasa Tamil dan beragama Hindu; orang Melayu yang bertutur dalam bahasa Inggeris semuanya "celup"; orang Cina mesti sembah tokong dan makan menggunakan kayu penyepit; dan sebagainya.
Logik yang mengelirukan

Label seperti ini tidak hanya berdasarkan bangsa, tetapi agama dan jantina kita juga. Yang menimbulkan tanda tanya untuk saya ialah apabila label seperti ini dipolitikkan habis-habis. Ambillah contoh wakil rakyat DAP dari Jelutong, Jeff Ooi, yang baru-baru ini mendakwa bahawa Jemaah Islah Malaysia (JIM) merupakan puak Islam pelampau ("religious extremist"). Saya rasa ini memang satu kenyataan yang tidak tepat, malah berniat buruk, tentang JIM.
Yang lebih membingungkan, Ketua Polis Negara Tan Sri Musa Hassan sekarang mahu menyoal Ooi atas dakwaan dia "menghina Islam". Menghina Islam! Mungkin Ooi telah menghina JIM, tetapi adakah menghina JIM itu sama ertinya dengan menghina Islam? Betulkah kalau kita menghina sebuah badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) Islam ia bererti kita sudah menghina agama Islam itu sendiri?
Jika begitu, saya hairan pula Musa tidak menyiasat ahli PAS dan Umno yang menghina Sisters in Islam. Kenapa itu pula tidak dianggap sebagai "menghina Islam"? JIM dan Sisters in Islam merupakan dua NGO berteraskan Islam yang dihormati dan bermaruah. Mungkin pendirian mereka berbeza atas beberapa isu, tetapi dua organisasi ini saling menghormati. Malah, kedua-duanya banyak bekerjasama dalam Gerakan Mansuhkan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (GMI). Pelik bin ajaib.
Kepentingan label
Label kadang-kadang penting untuk kita menggariskan pilihan hidup tertentu dan kepercayaan kita. Tetapi apabila dipolitikkan, label boleh digunakan untuk memeras, malah melanggar hak rakyat. Contohnya, di Amerika Syarikat dan United Kingdom, label "pengganas" digunakan untuk menyekat hak asasi puak Islam tertentu dan pengkritik kerajaan. Di Malaysia pula, label "Islam liberal" digunakan untuk tujuan yang sama. Banyak label lain yang digunakan untuk menghina atau mematahkan golongan tertentu — "lelaki lembut", "pendatang", "sekular", "pendatang asing tanpa izin", "pengganas", "feminis", "Melayu", "Cina", "Islam", "Zionis", "Taliban", "kafir", dan sebagainya.

Secara peribadi, saya sudah lama selesa dengan label "Melayu", "Islam", "lelaki", "demokrat" dan "feminis". Malangnya, label-label ini tidak cukup untuk mewakili identiti saya yang sepenuhnya. Otak nakal saya tiba-tiba memancarkan idea yang menarik.
Apa kata orang seperti saya semuanya mula mempopularkan istilah "kacukan"? Renungkanlah.Maya Karin merupakan anak kacukan. Jaguh skuasy negara, Mohd Azlan Iskandar, merupakan anak kacukan. Bintang filem tersohor, Hans Isaac, anak kacukan. Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Mariah Carey, dan bintang siri Prison Break, Wentworth Miller, semuanya anak kacukan. Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Hussein Obama pun anak kacukan! Kita boleh tubuhkan Parti Ketuanan Kacukan Antarabangsa, dan kita boleh merampas kuasa di seluruh dunia! Muahahaha!
Atau mungkin kita boleh guna saja istilah "anak Malaysia" atau "warga global". Suka hatilah. Saya lebih suka cadangan saya untuk mengambil alih puncak kuasa di dunia.

To most people, vaccines sound medically harmless. “They’re good for you!” say the doctors and drug companies, but they never really talk about what’s in those vaccines. There’s a good reason for that: If people knew what was really in those vaccines, they would never allow themselves to be injected with them.
Aside from the dangerous ingredients many people already know about (like squalene or thimerosal), one of the key ingredients used in flu vaccines (including the vaccines being prepared for the swine flu pandemic) is the diseased flesh of African Green Monkeys. This is revealed in U.S. patent No. 5911998 – Method of producing a virus vaccine from an African green monkey kidney cell line. (http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5…)
As this patent readily explains, ingredients used in the vaccine are derived from the kidneys of African Green Monkeys who are first infected with the virus, then allowed to fester the disease, and then are killed so that their diseased organs can be used make vaccine ingredients. This is done in a cruel, inhumane “flesh factory” environment where the monkeys are subjected to a process that includes “incubating said inoculated cell line to permit proliferation of said virus.” Then: “harvesting the virus resulting from step (c); and… (ii) preparing a vaccine from the harvested virus.”
Aside from the outrageous cruelty taking place with all this (”incubating” the virus in the kidneys of living monkeys, for example), there’s another disturbing fact that has surfaced in all this: The patent for this process is held not just by the National Institutes of Health, but by another private corporation known as DynCorp.
This, of course, brings up the obvious question: Who is Dyncorp? And why do they hold a patent on live attenuated vaccine production using African Green Monkeys?
DynCorp, it turns out, is a one of the top private military contractors working for the U.S. government. In addition to allegedly trafficking in under-age sex slaves in Bosnia (http://www.corpwatch.org/article.ph…) and poisoning rural farmers in Ecuador with its aerial spraying of Colombian coca crops (http://www.corpwatch.org/article.ph…), Dyncorp just happens to be paid big dollars by the U.S. government to patrol the U.S. / Mexico border, near where the H1N1 first swine flu virus was originally detected.
DynCorp also happens to be in a position to receive tremendous financial rewards from its patents covering attenuated live viral vaccine harvesting methods, as described in four key patents jointly held by DynCorp and the National Institutes of Health:
(6025182) Method for producing a virus from an African green monkey kidney cell line
(6117667) Method for producing an adapted virus population from an African green monkey kidney cell line (http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6…)
(5911998) Method of producing a virus vaccine from an African green monkey kidney cell line
(5646033) African green monkey kidney cell lines useful for maintaining viruses and for preparation of viral vaccines
One of the key inventors in these patents now held by DynCorp was Dr. Robert H. Purcell. Who is Dr. Robert Purcell? He’s one of the co-chiefs of the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases of theNational Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases operating under the National Institutes of Health of the U.S. government. (http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/labs/abou…)
That office, located at 50 South Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892, is less than 15 miles away from the headquarters of DynCorp.
It’s not too many more miles to Washington D.C., where U.S. government health authorities awarded over $1 billion in swine flu vaccine contracts to pharmaceutical companies. Can you guess which company received one of the largest vaccine manufacturing contracts? Baxter Pharmaceuticals, the very same company using ingredients derived from African Green Monkeys in precisely the way described in the patents held jointly by DynCorp and the NIH. Remember, Baxter is the company that was caught inserting live viruses into vaccine materials distributed to 18 different countries.
Are you following all this?
So far, we have the U.S. government awarding swine flu vaccine manufacturing contracts to a major U.S. vaccine manufacturer (Baxter) that uses vaccine ingredients from African Green Monkeys (sick!), derived from a process covered in a patent invented by U.S. government NIH researchers (Dr. Purcell and others) and now held jointly by the NIH and a private military contractor named DynCorp — the very same company that’s paid to monitor the U.S. / Mexico border where H1N1 swine flu first appeared.
And just today, there’s yet another development in all this: A Tamiflu-resistant strain of swine flu has just been discovered. Care to guess where? On the U.S.-Mexico border (http://www.google.com/hostednews/af…).
Once you understand all this, some obvious questions come to mind: Could H1N1 swine flu have been intentionally created and released into the wild (in Mexico) in order to create a windfall of vaccine profits that would financially benefit both the drug companies and the vaccine production patent holders? Because it certainly appears that a grand conspiracy between the NIH, the vaccine makers and private military contractors could have pulled this off.
But wait: Would a private military contractor really resort to such tactics just to make money?
Decide for yourself. Dyncorp has already been accused of crimes against humanity and genocide (http://www.corpwatch.org/section.ph…). According to the Wikipedia page on Dyncorp: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DynCor…)
Since the late 1990s, the United States has paid private contractors an estimated $1.2 billion, both to eradicate coca crops and to assist the Colombian army put down rebels that use the illegal drug trade to finance their insurgency. DynCorp has been awarded under competitive bid more of this business than any other company. In September 2001, a group of Ecuadorian farmers filed a class-action lawsuit against DynCorp under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA), the Torture Victim Protection Act and state law claims in US federal court in the District of Columbia. The plaintiffs claimed that from January to February 2001 DynCorp sprayed the herbicide almost daily, in a reckless manner, causing severe health problems (high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, dermatological problems) and the destruction of food crops and livestock of approximately 10,000 residents of the border region. In addition, the plaintiffs alleged that the toxicity of the fumigant caused the deaths of four infants in this region. The plaintiffs alleged under ATCA that DynCorp’s intensive aerial spraying of a toxic fumigant amounted to torture, a crime against humanity and cultural genocide.
And on the issue of DynCorp’s people engaging in the sex slave trade:
According to whistleblower Ben Johnston, a former aircraft mechanic who worked for [DynCorp] in Bosnia, employees and supervisors of a predecessor company to today’s DynCorp International engaged in sex with 12 to 15 year old children, and sold them to each other as slaves.
On June 2, 2000, members of the 48th Military Police Detachment conducted a sting on the DynCorp hangar at Comanche Base Camp, one of two U.S. bases in Bosnia, and all DynCorp personnel were detained for questioning. CID spent several weeks working the investigation and the results appear to support Johnston’s allegations. For example, according to DynCorp employee Kevin Werner’s sworn statement to CID, “during my last six months I have come to know a man we call ‘Debeli,’ which is Bosnian for fat boy. He is the operator of a nightclub by the name of Harley’s that offers prostitution. Women are sold hourly, nightly or permanently.”
Could this same company — which admittedly sprays poison on family farms in Colombia and Ecuador — have engaged in another crime against humanity with the release of swine flu virus in Mexico?
This apparent conspiracy brings up several important questions that need to be answered:
1) Why are key viral vaccine patents jointly held by the NIH and a large private military contractor?
2) Given the atrocious vaccine material handling safety record of Baxter Pharmaceuticals, why did the U.S. government choose Baxter to manufacture vaccines for public consumption?
3) Why is no one talking about the African Green Monkeys who are infected, incubated and then killed for harvesting vaccine ingredients used in the swine flu vaccine?
4) Is it just coincidence that the swine flu virus (and now the Tamiflu-resistant mutation of the virus) first appeared at the U.S. / Mexico border near where DynCorp has a security presence?
5) Why would the inventors of a key vaccine technology agree to hand over ownership of the patent to a private military contractor like DynCorp?
6) Why has nobody in the mainstream media noticed any of this yet (or not bothered to report on it?)
7) How much money is DynCorp collecting on the vaccine patents due to the sudden large-scale manufacture of swine flu vaccines taking place right now?
Why does the U.S. government continue to do business with criminally-minded organizations and incompetent vaccine manufacturers?
It’s difficult to consider all the evidence presented here and not come to the rational conclusion that something sinister is afoot in America today. Let me paint a picture for you of a plausible scenario of what I think is happening right now. Note, carefully, that this is merely speculation, but it’s a theory that makes sense:
Back in the late 1990’s, evil leaders of the U.S. government decided they needed to launch a covert population control measure that could reduce the population while deflecting blame for the deaths. The obvious choice for this was a viral pandemic, so using the viral samples and knowledge already attained by U.S. Army virologists, they engineered a combination swine / avian / human influenza virus patterned after the 1918 influenza that devastated the world population nearly a century ago. The plan, of course, would be to release the virus into the wild and let nature do the rest.
But killing off a lot of people isn’t profitable enough all by itself. The plan is a lot smarter if you add a profit center to it… and that’s where the vaccines come into play. First, the patents had to be secured in order to guarantee profitability. DynCorp was offered partial ownership of the patents (together with the National Institutes of Health) in exchange for its responsibility to covertly release the engineered virus in Mexico, assuring the global spread of the next influenza pandemic. It will be paid back in patent royalties from the pharmaceutical companies that are awarded the government-funded vaccine manufacturing contracts.
Baxter was chosen by the U.S. government precisely because of its expertise in inserting liveviruses into vaccine materials. And just to make sure the drug companies would play along, the U.S. government (under the Bush administration) granted them all complete immunity against product liability for all vaccines. This removed any financial risk from the drug companies while setting the stage for a massive human die-off following the vaccine injections.
Once the injections begin and people start dying, the deaths will simply be blamed on the virus itself. The drug companies have complete legal immunity, and DynCorp gets its share of the profits as the holder of the patents. Key conspirators are rewarded with bonus stock options and / or the threat of being killed if they talk.
Through this plan, several important things are accomplished:
1) The population gets reduced (with no blame on the national leaders).
2) Billions of dollars get funneled to powerful corporations.
3) The pandemic outbreak itself allows government to declare a State of Emergency where yet more rights and freedoms can be stolen away from the People. (And companies like DynCorp can be hired to run domestic prison camps or “isolation camps.”)
4) The government and the pharmaceutical industry both get to position themselves as “heroic” for apparently attempting to stop the pandemic with vaccines. No matter how many people actually die, Big Pharma will claim many more would have died without the vaccine.
5) Those who survive the pandemic (and the vaccine) become immune compromised due to the vaccine, and they later emerge as repeat customers for future medical procedures (cancer, Parkinson’s, etc.).
Of course, this is all just a theory. Some people might even call it a paranoid theory. But I ask them one question: Why does a top U.S. military contractor share ownership of key vaccine patents with the U.S. government’s National Institutes of Health?
Merely attempting to explain that will lead you down the path to all kinds of eye-opening information about collusion between government, the pharmaceutical industry and the military-industrial complex. And you know what they all have in common? They’re all promoters of death.
But it’s not enough to just kill you; they want to make money while they’re doing it.
Finally, I feel the need to preempt the naive critics who will inevitably post comments to this story like, “Corporations and governments would never knowingly harm people for power or profit.”
Such naivete is almost not worth responding to, but I’ll do it in advance just to be sure: Read your world history. Not only is world history full of examples of governments and corporations knowingly harming people for profit, it could be accurately stated that world history is largely a collection of precisely such things!
Read your Noam Chomsky, or Naomi Klein, or Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins. His newest book is a real eye-opener about the way governments really work: The Secret History of the American Empire: The Truth About Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and How to Change the World (http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Histor…).
Although I can’t prove it yet, I believe this current swine flu vaccine push is also part of a grand military-industrial-pharmaceutical conspiracy designed to harm the people while extracting huge profits. Only time will tell if this is an accurate assessment of the current situation.
In the mean time, you may wish to avoid being injected with viral material taken from African Green Monkeys (unless you’re some sort of sicko).

This article somewhat re-affirms my earlier belief that A(H1N1) was intentionally created and released, to make profits out from vaccines supplied later on. Shudders to think what humans are capable of, come rain or shine! CIAO!
