HEALTH MINISTER OF INDONESIA: U.S. MAY TURN AVIAN FLU INTO BIOWEAPON
February 20th, 2008Now that they know why bird flu isn’t readily transmissible from human to human, how long until a weaponized version is engineered?
That’s me being optimistic; assuming that a weaponized form doesn’t exist already.
—Why Bird Flu Has Been Kept at Bay
It’s one thing for me to sit here, in my tinfoil underwear, writing about engineered Kill Off, etc., but I really don’t expect to be out-tinfoiled by high government officials!
For f*#%$ sake. I’ve seen just about enough for today…

PETER CAVE: Indonesia’s Health Minister has suggested that the United States may be involved in a conspiracy to use the bird flu virus to develop biological weapons.
The extraordinary allegation is included in a new book, endorsed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, which describes Indonesia’s fight to assert its ownership of its virulent strains of avian influenza.
Concerns over that issue prompted Indonesia last year to stop sharing virus samples with the World Health Organization as Jakarta correspondent Geoff Thompson reports.
GEOFF THOMPSON: No country in the world has been hit by bird flu like Indonesia. Already this year 11 people have died and ten of those were from Jakarta or surrounding areas.
Indonesia’s uniquely virulent strain of H5N1 gave the country “bargaining power” according to Indonesia’s Health Minister Dr Siti Fadilah Supari, in her new book called “It’s Time for the World to Change” and strangely subtitled “The Divine Hand Behind Avian Influenza”.
It’s this bargaining power which led Dr Supari in late 2006 to stop sharing Indonesia’s strains of bird flu with World Health Organization laboratories because of fears that any vaccines developed would then be sold for profit to developing countries with no benefit to Indonesia.
In essence, Indonesia sought to retain the “virus rights” and any profits to be made from its bird flu problem.
Back then on AM, Dr Supari effectively accused Australia of stealing Indonesia’s strain of H5N1 to make bird flu vaccines.
SITI FADILAH SUPARI: I never, I never give permission to send sample to the, send a specimen of the virus to Australia.
GEOFF THOMPSON: Now in her book Dr Supari has revealed, the full scope of the conspiracy she believes she is up against. “Developed countries become richer”, she writes, “because they have the capability to develop the vaccine and control the world”.
Dr Supari expresses alarm at WHO laboratories sharing bird flu virus data with the United States national laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where nuclear weapons are developed.
“Whether they use is it to make vaccine or develop chemical weapons, would depend on the need and interest of the US Government. It is indeed a very dangerous situation for the destiny of humanity”, she writes and goes on to say “.. it is a matter of choice whether to use the material for vaccines or biological weapon development”.
Despite the clear implication contained in her book, last night Dr Supari told the ABC, she didn’t intend to accuse the United States of being interested in turning H5N1 into a biological weapon.
SITI FADILAH SUPARI: I didn’t know whether our virus will be develop into a vaccine or will be develop into a biological weapon. So just a question – I didn’t blame United States, I didn’t blame any country.
PETER CAVE: Indonesia’s Health Minister, Dr Siti Fadilah Supari, speaking there to Indonesia correspondent Geoff Thompson.
“I really don’t expect to be out-tinfoiled by high government officials!”
You can probably start a list since it appears that questions have been raised in Japanese parliament about the reliability of the US govt version of who casued 9-11. I know distrusting the official story is not very daring but I was surprised at the people doing it
When an engineered flu-like pandemic is unleashed, blaming it on a mutated variant of the bird flu is a perfect cover story. Since the bird flu story is being hyped beyond all reasonable proportion, there is definitely some hidden agenda.
Sorry, you have your tinfoil underwear on backwards. Supari isn’t sharing viral samples because she hopes to have a worldwide monopoly on pandemic vaccine. She wants the West to build and pay for vaccine labs, over which Indonesia will exert absolute authority. They want unlimited free vaccine for the Indonesian people, without making any kind of investment in the infrastructure necessary to make such a vaccine.

She has been extorting WHO and the West. There isn’t enough vaccine production capacity in the world to supply everyone with a prepandemic vax. The WHO’s position is that every vaccine maker needs samples to start developing prepandemic vaccines now. It’s not a matter of picking and choosing which vaccine makers they hope will profit.
Stop and think about these two comments.
“because they have the capability to develop the vaccine and control the world”.
“Whether they use is it to make vaccine or develop chemical weapons, would depend on the need and interest of the US Government.
What if Indonesia had the “capability to develop the vaccine”? If they have a monopoly on the vaccine, then what governments “needs and interests” would be served by weaponizing it? Since they see it as a choice, we should all be very concerned about Indonesia’s motives.
With the track record that the USA has, I would be far more concerned about US interests than those of Indonesia. No contest.
