            As you who know me well will know, I've always got something to say. For years
        it's just you few close friends who have been privileged to hear what I have
        to say :-)
        
        
            Well, now I have the time to express myself to the world!
        
        
            This section is suitably called 'The Red Pill' as it deals with issues that most
        of us want to ignore and do an ‘Ostrich' on (put our head in the sand).
        
        EPIDEMIC NOTICE
        
            
            Yesterday I emailed a friend and in that email I said the following:
        
        
            Plans for coming back??? Well given that the WHO has raised the Swine Flu to a level
        6, I don't want to travel at the moment. This is serious as it allows governments
        to use laws that can only be instigated when there is an 'official' pandemic which
        is what level 6 is. So there is a chance that countries may close borders as time
        progresses. As the head of WHO said today 'this is the early days of this pandemic'.
        
        
            THEN, on 3 News online in New Zealand (13th June 2009) there was an article titled:
        ‘NZ undecided on whether to pick up its share
            of Aust flu vaccine'. In the middle of this article, I came across
        the following paragraph (highlights are mine):
        
        
            And when Dr Hunt was asked what would trigger the legal step of the Government issuing
        an "Epidemic Notice" - a move which
        will automatically give medical officers of health special powers - he told NZPA
        that "due consideration" was on the basis of what was happening in New
        Zealand, rather than globally.
        
        
            To read the full news article:

            Now, a number of you, who know me well, probably consider me to be a ‘little'
        eccentric or paranoid with my ideas. Well, not on this one! I did a 2 second search
        on the words ‘epidemic notice' and restricted the search to NZ sites
        only and here is what I hit on the Otago Daily Times website:
        
        Extra powers may come with pandemic notice
        
            
            Fri, 12 Jun 2009
        
        
            The World Health Organisation's declaration of a full-blown global influenza pandemic
        places the nation's regional health officials in the limelight.
        
            New health regulations which took effect on April 29 added non-seasonal flu such
        as A/H1N1 swine flu to other quarantinable diseases such as avian influenza, cholera,
        plague and yellow fever.
        
            And a ministerial authorization, an epidemic notice issued under the Epidemic Preparedness
        Act 2006, or declaration of a state of emergency can give extra powers to regional
        medical officers of health.
        
            These officials are public health specialists the director-general of health makes
        responsible for specific health districts.
        
            According to Iris Reuvecamp, a senior associate at Buddle Findlay law firm, issue
        of epidemic notice for non-seasonal flu a quarantinable disease under the Health
        Act will mean health authorities can:
        
            * Require people to submit to medical examination or
            testing at specified times and places;
            
                * Require persons, places, buildings, ships, vehicles, aircraft, animals or things
            to be tested, isolated, quarantined or disinfected as they think fit;
            
                * Restrict the movement of people and vehicles;
            
                * Set up emergency hospitals;
            
                * Restrict public gatherings;
            
                * Close any premises, except for Parliament and private homes;
            
            The Health Act also allows the officials to call on police to use reasonable
        force if they need that to carry out their duties.
        
        
            http://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/60845/extra-powers-may-come-with-pandemic-notice
            
        
        
            And this is still just a ‘mainstream' media article. So it is no doubt
        been watered down. I suspect their powers are far more reaching than what is said
        here.
        
            Tell me; was anyone aware of the Epidemic Preparedness Act 2006 and it contents
        being passed in 2006? Or was this one of those ‘silent' bills? What
        about being aware that just 3 MONTHS before there is a ‘pandemic of A/H1N1'
        the government adds it to this bill? Gee, coincidence??
        
        
            And this is just little old NZ. I can't even begin to comprehend the types
        of laws around this issue that have been silently passed in the US for example.
        
        
            WAKE UP PEOPLE !!

            This link clearly states how the Epidemic Preparedness Act 2006 over rights many
        sections of the Bill of Rights Act 1990. To spell it out it if the government initiates
        the Epidemic Preparedness Act 2006 it will take away many of your legal rights!
        I don't agree with the findings of the group in this article. What it does
        show is that your rights will be compromised.
