Excerpt -
If you have not stockpiled at least two years of supplies, just stop what you are doing and get on it. Plant a garden if possible. Get chickens. Learn to fish. Notice I have never sold any of the supplies, and rarely even mention models of pro ducts other than a few like Katadyn water filters, or Berkey, but I make no money from that and have no relationships any companies. People often say that I should set up an online store. But that would undermine the message. If I tell you to stock up and then provide a link, the message is undermined. Most folks smart enough to read my pages have been preparing for a long time. Comparing notes with each other. Searching for holes in their strategies. Some folks even make dry runs by turning off their water and electricity for varying periods in order to find more weaknesses in their plans. Self defense is vital. We’ve seen 911 is a joke. We are our keeper. A grandmother with a little training can throw some serious self defense downrange. Later this year we likely will see various governments within the Unites States starting with price controls and increased subsidies. Governments always do this when they are losing control. These policies will exacerbate situations. OGUS will push to make rationing electronic to gain even more control of every aspect of our existence. All the indicators are there. Stock up thick. The clock is ticking. Conditions are set: 2022 will become serious. 2023 will be a year of starvation in many countries. I do not even see a way out of this. Too much inertia and sabotage. Serious famine creates real pandemic, more war, and HOP — Human Osmotic Pressure — which leads to migrations. https://michaelyon.locals.com/post/2069821/am-jumping-out-the-overton-window-again |

Human case of bird flu detected in Texas after outbreak of virus among cattle Less than a week after sick dairy cattle in Texas and Kansas tested positive for bird flu, Texas state officials reported that a person in the state has been infected with the virus after coming into close contact with the infected cows. The Texas Department of State Health Services said in a news alert Monday that the patient became "ill following contact with dairy cows presumed to be infected with avian influenza" and that their primary symptom was conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. |

That tornado SW of you absolutely was a threat. In all honesty, a ham radio isn’t a lifesaver all of the time but if the sirens are going off, it’s more than likely because of a spotter during a Skywarn net. I once got about a 10 minute advanced warning from the time I heard the spotting on my ham radio until the sirens went off. That incident was during the daytime, though. During a nighttime incident, I was listening to my handheld while in the back yard. No reports were going off on the radio but I could hear the infamous freight train sound maybe a quarter of a mile to my SW. I couldn’t see anything, even during the flashes of lightning. A few minutes later, a spotter breaks in the Skywarn net with a report of a tornado touching down on the north side of the highway that’s NE of my location, so evidently, a tornado passed through town but wasn’t on the ground at the time. People living in its pathway have no idea how lucky they were that night. Everyone really needs to be on their toes during the nighttime. Going outside and looking and listening for yourself might be something you consider doing at that time, depending on the threat level. I’ve also heard that night vision is helpful at spotting tornadoes at night, but most spotters don’t have night vision. |

How prepared the U.S. is for a bird flu pandemic
Federal officials are preparing for the possibility of additional human cases of bird flu, testing components to create a vaccine after a Texas dairy worker was infected with the highly virulent virus, even as they stress the United States remains far from needing to activate a full-blown emergency response Two candidate vaccine viruses — essentially the building blocks manufacturers use to produce a vaccine — appear well matched to protect against the H5N1 strain circulating among dairy cattle and birds, according to federal health officials. It’d probably be weeks to months before those shots could first be made available if needed, according to a Health and Human Services official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. . . Since bird flu outbreaks have become widespread globally in recent years, the CDC and the Agriculture Department have enhanced surveillance — closely monitoring anyone who has been exposed to infected birds or poultry infected with H5N1 for 10 days. More than 8,000 people have been monitored in all the 50 states, D.C., New York City, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and the Northern Marianas. Until this week, the only positive case was in Colorado in 2022. If an outbreak in humans occurs, quickly scaling up vaccination would be paramount. The nation’s 10-year playbook to modernize flu vaccination sets a goal of delivering first doses of a vaccine within 12 weeks of the declaration of an influenza pandemic. Federal officials point to some good news: Manufacturing a vaccine to match this specific strain of the virus and then mass producing it is vastly easier than the effort to develop a coronavirus vaccine. That’s because there are already vaccines to combat the bird flu. They can be altered, experts say, to better protect against this specific strain. . . https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/04/02/bird-flu-pandemic-outbreak-h5n1/ |

H5N1 detected in cattle herds is 5 states in 1 weeks time. also goats in MI. Infection in mammals other than isolated people is new. this is spreading quickly. This is new and a major development. "This marks the first known case of HPAI in cattle in New Mexico, and adds to the two detections in Texas that were first announced on Monday, March 25. To date, USDA has confirmed the detection of HPAI in dairy herds in Texas (7) Kansas (2), Michigan (1), and New Mexico (1). The presumptive positive test results for the Idaho herd are still pending analysis at NVSL." |

ETA: The transmission from birds to cattle in 5 states and goats in a 6th state all in the last week infecting many herds is very concerning and also within the last week transmission from cattle to a person ( not from birds but from cattle ) indicates a significant adaptation of the virus to mammals including people. |

reported in Jan 2020
It isn't just cattle and Goats. Also seals. Over 17,000 southern elephant seal pups — accounting for 95% of the pups born last year — have died from a highly virulent strain of H5N1, known as bird flu, in a mass death event on the Valdés Peninsula in Argentina. The bird flu outbreak was officially confirmed by the Argentine Government Animal Health Service (SENASA), raising concerns among conservationists and scientists that the virus had mutated to be transmissible from mammal-to-mammal. "I started to work with these animals in the '70s, and I have never seen something like this. Nobody has seen something like this," Claudio Campagna, a conservation researcher at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in Argentina and lead author of a new study on the mass die off, told Live Science. https://www.livescience.com/animals/seals/bird-flu-wipes-out-over-95-of-southern-elephant-seal-pups-in-catastrophic-mass-death |

With H5N1, we in the medical community are not prepared for a high CFR outbreak. Yes more negative pressure, HEPA filtering, better PPE and ventilators are in place. But the overwhelming of hospitals due to H5N1 would be rough.

South American Mammals reported 2 days ago.
https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2024/04/02/bird-flu-strain-raises-alarm-as-h5n1-virus-kills-south-american-wildlife/ The deadly H5N1 bird flu virus has spread more aggressively than ever before in wild birds and marine mammals since arriving in South America in 2022, raising the risk of it evolving into a bigger threat to humans, according to interviews with eight scientists. Of more immediate concern is evidence the disease, once largely confined to bird species, appears to be spreading between mammals. This strain has already killed a handful of dolphins in Chile and Peru, some 50,000 seals and sea lions along the coasts, and at least half a million birds regionwide. To confirm mammal-to-mammal transmission, scientists would likely need to test infections in live animals. “It’s almost certainly happened,” said Richard Webby, a virologist at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. “It’s pretty hard to explain some of these large infections and die off without having mammal-to-mammal spread.” The strain has shown up in dozens of bird species, including some migrating species, which can spread it beyond the region, scientists told Reuters. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Mach: What they are leaving out is more important than what they are saying. The simple fact is that H5N1 has never made the jump from birds to cattle and goats which has been discovered in 6 different states all in the last week. this is a big deal. This is a major adaptive change in H5N1 and very indicative of an immediate risk of a pending pandemic. ETA: The transmission from birds to cattle in 5 states and goats in a 6th state all in the last week infecting many herds is very concerning and also within the last week transmission from cattle to a person ( not from birds but from cattle ) indicates a significant adaptation of the virus to mammals including people. A year ago I discussed the bird flu with my vet when he was over looking at my cattle. He said he was not concerned about it affecting cattle and explained how hard it would be to spread amongst cattle herds to fast at the start of an outbreak. Talked to him yesterday about it again and he said it makes no sense on how it can magically jump from birds to cattle in 6 different states in a week. Now he is very concerned especially since it’s already jumped from cattle to a person. He said nothing about this seems to be natural. As I posted a couple days ago I think they will start culling herds if it spreads more to people, my vet agreed he definitely sees that happening. |

Over 17,000 southern elephant seal pups — accounting for 95% of the pups born last year — have died from a highly virulent strain of H5N1, known as bird flu, in a mass death event on the Valdés Peninsula in Argentina.

I’ve also heard speculation that this is an engineered virus, but that’s another discussion for later. |

I'm sure it's a complete tin-foil nut-job conspiracy-theory for anyone to even consider in their wildest dreams that some biolab somewhere might concoct a cattle-viable strain for release during an election year, right?... |

Bird flu wipes out over 95% of southern elephant seal pups in 'catastrophic' mass death Over 17,000 southern elephant seal pups were found dead on Argentina's Valdés Peninsula in a horrific mass die off attributed to the deadly H5N1 avian influenza virus. Over 17,000 southern elephant seal pups — accounting for 95% of the pups born last year — have died from a highly virulent strain of H5N1, known as bird flu, in a mass death event on the Valdés Peninsula in Argentina. The bird flu outbreak was officially confirmed by the Argentine Government Animal Health Service (SENASA), raising concerns among conservationists and scientists that the virus had mutated to be transmissible from mammal-to-mammal.

Infected animals showed neurological and respiratory symptoms, such as head tremors, nasal discharge and a lack of coordination. The researchers are now considering that transmissions are occurring between mammals. Scientists had previously assumed that mammals were being infected from contact with birds through fecal matter or their dead carcasses. But Campagna pointed out that pups mainly nurse from their mothers, and therefore would not be consuming infected birds. . . https://www.livescience.com/animals/seals/bird-flu-wipes-out-over-95-of-southern-elephant-seal-pups-in-catastrophic-mass-death# |

American Cattle Rancher Gives Update After Texas Fires: Government Bulldozing Farm Land That Wasn’t Even Burned 🚨 “They're ruining the remaining feed and grasses that they do have” “So I wanted to update y'all on what's going on in Texas. We have over a million acres of farmland that has been burned and ruined. And not only that, we have Texas forest service that is going into these ranchers properties and dozing up the land. They're not even dozing the burned areas. They're ruining the remaining feed and grasses that they do have, and we don't know why they're doing this.

After the Baltimore Key Bridge collapse, Lara took to X and posted what the intel community is saying about the vulnerability of our infrastructure and how America is NOT ready if our infrastructure gets attacked.
