vSwine Flu 'Pandemic'
Martial Law Passes MA Senate
5-4-9

"While Massachusetts residents were sleeping, our Legislature rushed through a bill- in response to the recent "Swine flu" outbreak.

This bill has been on the shelf but (the) state government felt this was the perfect time to slip this bill through.

What is the big deal about the bill- S18? It gives the Governor power to authorize the deployment and use of force to distribute supplies and materials.

It gives local authorities the permission to enter private residences for investigation and to quarantine individuals.

Basically during any "emergency" our state can and will declare martial law; you lose your Constitutional rights.

This bill has many disturbing facets." -From the Blog Ride Tide

From a separate source:
"It took corporate media swine flu hysteria to ram through a martial law bill in Massachusetts. S18 gives the Governor the power to authorize the deployment and use of force to distribute supplies and materials and local authorities will be allowed to enter private residences for investigation and to quarantine individuals.

The Massachusetts Senate has unanimously passed a pandemic flu preparation bill that has languished in the Legislature before the recent "swine flu" outbreak.

The 36-0 vote today sends the measure to the House. Both branches have taken it up in past years, but have not been able to agree on the details.

The new Senate version would allow the public health commissioner - in a public health emergency - to close or evacuate buildings, enter private property for investigations, and quarantine individuals.

The bill specifically mandates the following:

(1) to require the owner or occupier of premises to permit entry into and investigation of the premises;
(2) to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated any building or facility, and to allow the reopening of the building or facility when the danger has ended;
(3) to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated, or to destroy any material;
(4) to restrict or prohibit assemblages of persons;
(5) to require a health care facility to provide services or the use of its facility, or to transfer the management and supervision of the health care facility to the department or to a local public health authority;
(6) to control ingress to and egress from any stricken or threatened public area, and the movement of persons and materials within the area;
(7) to adopt and enforce measures to provide for the safe disposal of infectious waste and human remains, provided that religious, cultural, family, and individual beliefs of the deceased person shall be followed to the extent possible when disposing of human remains, whenever that may be done without endangering the public health;
(8) to procure, take immediate possession from any source, store, or distribute any anti-toxins, serums, vaccines, immunizing agents, antibiotics, and other pharmaceutical agents or medical supplies located within the commonwealth as may be necessary to respond to the emergency;
(9) to require in-state health care providers to assist in the performance of vaccination, treatment, examination, or testing of any individual as a condition of licensure, authorization, or the ability to continue to function as a health care provider in the commonwealth" - Bill 122460

isn't this against the constitution/Bill of Rights, where it says, all unalienable rights can't be taken away.....and other things as well, and no search w/o a warrant

cause i do know that it says somewhere that u can't pass a law that contradicts the constitution/bill of rights....so why did they pass this??

This H1N1 Flu is like any other flue except it's a bit nastier and sticks with you for a couple of days longer. I have it now and it knocked me down for 3 days with a fever and upper head congestion, non stop post nasal drip for about 12 hours and super fatigue. I didn't experience much nausea probably because i was on a steady dose of antihistamine. But then again I didn't feel like eating much either.It's my 4thday with it and I still have a fever of 101 but im keeping it down with aspirin.



It is highly contagious and there is not much one can do to avoid it since like most viruses it has a 1-2 week incubation period and you don't know you have it until you are asymptomatic. I am on Tami-flue as of today. My doc says that it might get me well sooner than later because it lowers the Viral load. who knows... but to call martial law and cause a ruckus? what a waste of time. Your either going to get it or not. But yea it'll knock your **** in the dirt especially if you are very young or very old. Im middle aged and have a pretty decent immune system and it fatiged the hell out of me.

no where is this called an h1n1 measure it is a epidemic measure (personaly i look at it and my first thought wasn't h1 but something nastier (think captain trips ,or ebola)
and look at those terrible mandates
(1) to require the owner or occupier of premises to permit entry into and investigation of the premises;

(2) to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated any building or facility, and to allow the reopening of the building or facility when the danger has ended; (translation grandma has to leave the house if its contaminated( those heartless bastards) gee wouldn't want scared people to cling to a infected/contaminated location )
(3) to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated, or to destroy any material; (get rid of the source of the infection/contamination what a crazy idea)

(4) to restrict or prohibit assemblages of persons; (don't let people gather and spread contagion to each other or worse form a mob and witch hunt for someone to blame (simply shocking how diabolical this is)
(5) to require a health care facility to provide services or the use of its facility, or to transfer the management and supervision of the health care facility to the department or to a local public health authority; (the ability to compel private heath care facilities to cooperate (now their picking on the rich and their private clinics))
(6) to control ingress to and egress from any stricken or threatened public area, and the movement of persons and materials within the area; (keep some f###ing idoit from spreading infection/contamination to uncontaminated areas )

(7) to adopt and enforce measures to provide for the safe disposal of infectious waste and human remains, provided that religious, cultural, family, and individual beliefs of the deceased person shall be followed to the extent possible when disposing of human remains, whenever that may be done without endangering the public health;
see response 3
(8) to procure, take immediate possession from any source, store, or distribute any anti-toxins, serums, vaccines, immunizing agents, antibiotics, and other pharmaceutical agents or medical supplies located within the commonwealth as may be necessary to respond to the emergency;see response 5
(9) to require in-state health care providers to assist in the performance of vaccination, treatment, examination, or testing of any individual as a condition of licensure, authorization, or the ability to continue to function as a health care provider in the commonwealth" see response 5
hope my translation helps clear up the conspiracy nut theorys:P
personally I'd improved species and let the ones too stupid to fallow common sense rules die

There is also tamiflu resistance versions out there now. And, you are contagious for up to 7 days after all symptoms are gone. Nice when you consider the law and keeping infected people out of public areas while contagious.
