National Quarantine In The Works?

Welcome to crazy town, sit down and take a load off.

A little background first. As you probably know, I have been saying that the H1N1 is just propaganda to get everyone worried about the big outbreak this fall. You may also know I think the economy is going to collapse, and it will be blamed on the quarantine of country that will happen to coincide.

Today's news was that 6 Congressional pages have come down with the dreaded H1N1 virus. But it also seems, they haven't tested any of them for the virus. Apparently it is just assumed if you have the sniffles now, that it is H1N1.

Which makes me suspect of all the cases that have been reported recently. As they seemed to have stopped the testing for the virus in suspected victims.

So when you hear on television that there were 20 more cases somewhere, know that not one single test was done to confirm it. They are just either assuming, or worse, just making up numbers to scare everyone.

I know, you are saying big whoop. They are blowing things out of proportion. Nothing new there.

Until you read this:

This came out of CNN today as well as the story of the sick pages in congress:

The U.S. military wants to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials.

The plan calls for military task forces to work in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. There is no final decision on how the military effort would be manned, but one source said it would likely include personnel from all branches of the military.

FEMA, as we all know, is under the DHS umbrella.

According to CNN:

Orders to deploy actual forces would be reviewed later, depending on how much of a health threat the flu poses this fall, the officials said.

I don't know about you, but this sure looks like the first step in the planning of a National quarantine.

Maybe I'm not so batty after all?

In related news, the U.S. Treasury sold $39 billion in five-year debt Wednesday in an auction that drew poor demand. This was the second day with a poor showing, and not much is expected from the 7 year bonds going up for auction tomorrow.

39 Billion is roughly about one day of running the Federal Government. They need to sell 150 Billion just to cover the interest already owed every month. It would seem the world is tiring of buying our worthless debt.

Since they are putting the Health Care takeover vote off until October, I wonder if the Dollar collapse will happen at the end of the month. Sort of an evil Halloween trick on the country. I would suspect they will do anything they can to keep the country running as if nothing is wrong until then.

Then add in this goody. It would seem the Federal Reserve is paying the banks who received TARP money, to keep it parked, in the Federal Reserve vaults.
