My Name Is Legion - And the disease entered into the swine........According to one source Nazi Scientists had experiments centered about the Gadarenes and their Legion - an experiment in bacteria warfare; it would appear to me it seemed to be more of a combined effort on the part of many different people - for those with the divine right to rule answer to no one - genocide was not a crime was it? Now the Tribe of Gad according to Genesis "They will Overcome".....overcome what? How many are old enough to remembr Gerald Ford taking the "swine flu" shot - and how many died and became ill ? Actually this blight is right on target; the swine and cattle symbolize people - the master plan for murder linked to the testaments and the stars, is going full force now.....but then nobody hears Africa screaming either after Rhodes Round Table pacled up and left - these Knights of the Round Table? Of Arthur it was said the once and future King - but try to make a Knight out of a pig like Kissinger when we had Kennedy? Saba "1": And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. "2": And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, "3": Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: "4": Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. "5": And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. "6": But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, "7": And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. "8": For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. "9": And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. "10": And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. "11": Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. "12": And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. "13": And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

They warn that it could strike again. Using lung tissue taken at autopsy 79 years ago from an Army private killed by the flu, scientists at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology made a genetic analysis of the virus and concluded it is unique, though closely related to the ''swine'' flu. ''This is the first time that anyone has gotten a look at this virus which killed millions of people in one year, making it the worst infectious disease episode ever,'' said Dr. Jeffery K. Taubenberger, leader of the Armed Forces Institute team. ''It does not match any virus that has been found since.'' Although the disease that caused the worldwide epidemic was called ''Spanish flu,'' the virus apparently is a mutation that evolved in American pigs and was spread around the globe by U.S. troops mobilized for World War I, said Taubenberger. The Army private whose tissue was analyzed contracted the flu at Fort Jackson, S.C. For that reason, Taubenberger and his colleagues suggest in the journal Science that the virus be known as Influenza A/South Carolina. Science is publishing the study today. Army doctors in 1918 conducted autopsies on some of the 43,000 servicemen killed by the flu and preserved some specimens in formaldehyde and wax. Taubenberger said his team sorted through 30 specimens before finding enough virus in the private's lung tissue to partially sequence the genes for hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, two key proteins in flu virus. ''The hemagglutinin gene matches closest to swine influenza viruses, showing that this virus came into humans from pigs,'' said Taubenberger. The finding supports a widespread theory that flu viruses from swine are the most virulent for humans. Most experts believe that flu viruses reside harmlessly in birds, where they are genetically stable. Occasionally, a virus from birds will infect pigs. The swine immune system attacks the virus, forcing it to change genetically to survive. The result is a new virus. When this new bug is spread to humans, it can be devastating, said Taubenberger. Two other flu viruses spread all over the world since 1918 - Asian flu in 1957 and the Hong Kong flu in 1968 - and both mutated in pigs.
