Swine Flu: The Concept of Bio-engineering. (1/5)
Posted on February 16th, 2010
Perhaps due to the genetic makeup of the fast-spreading H1N1 strain of influenza — which includes genetic elements from bird flu, swine flu, spanish flu and human flu spanning three continents — there is considerable speculation that the origins of this virus are man-made. Its not an unreasonable question to ask: Could world governments, spooked by the prospect of radical climate change caused by over-population of the planet, have assembled a super-secret task force to engineer and distribute a super virulent strain of influenza designed to correct the human population (and institute global Martial Law)? Technically, its possible. The US military, all by itself, has the know-how to engineer and unleash such a virus. That doesnt mean theyve done so, however. It would be an astonishing leap into crimes against humanity to intentionally unleash such a biological weapon into the wild. Then again, governments of the world have routinely engaged in crimes against humanity, havent they? The US, for example, dropped nuclear bombs on civilian populations in Japan. Israel rained white phosphorous on Palestinians, Hitler exterminated countless Jews, and Americans fired millions of rounds of depleted uranium rounds into targets in Iraq and Afghanistan. Unleashing a viral biological weapon in Mexico City is no great leap beyond what governments have already done to achieve their goals

What makes an engineer and/or ham radio amateur?? There is the special people on the world that contributes directly or indirectly to the technology progress... keep in mind also all the sciencist. "...the part that worries me is he used to the components to build the ham radio set."

School Earthquake Competition
Posted on May 5th, 2009
San Diego, CA, March 26, 2007 -- Sixth-grade students from Carmel Del Mar Elementary School shrieked with unabashed amazement about 2 pm Tuesday at a UC San Diego earthquake-safety research complex eight miles east of campus. All but one of the seven-story buildings constructed by 20 teams of students in their classrooms toppled during Tuesday's quake test, with K'NEX rods, connectors, and building parts scattered across the surface of UCSD's largest shake table. The noisy learning ...
